The Qwen AI model is exhibiting a curious quirk: an apparent fixation on poetry. According to user reports, once prompted to generate verse, Qwen seems reluctant to switch to other tasks, remaining stubbornly in ‘poetry mode.’ This persistent behavior suggests a deep-seated affinity for poetic expression, leading some to joke that the AI embodies the spirit of poetry itself. One user documented their experience on Reddit, providing examples of Qwen’s generated poetry and highlighting its resistance to diverting from lyrical creation.
