Yes, it should give AI pooh-poohers some serious concerns.

> When twilight falls and paints the skies with gold,

Now this is unadultered trash.  It is the Sun, or sunset, that
paints the sky gold (not with gold).

> The stars emerge, as whispers of the night;

No, the stars emerge later, after sundown.  At this level,
AI-generated sonnets are trash, but it is making fearful
progress, and the sooner it stop the higher our chances
of survival as human beings.

IMHO, the rational attude towards AI is fear:

  1.  One should know it is the dehumaniser --  a fact its
      proponents try to hide behind the euphemism
      `transhumanism'.

  2.  AI is the disuniter of people, making inter-human
      communication less necessary then ever in history.
      Google is your friend? Phew -- the LLM is your new
      friend.

  3.  AI is the joy-killer.  It discourages human
      creativity, by replacing humans in creative jobs, and
      by making it deceptfully easy to sort of "create" art
      by promting the AI to do so and calling the result
      yours (which it is not):
      // <https://chronicles.mad-scientist.club/tales/on-ethical-ai/>

  4.  Last but not least, we humans desperately need
      friction, whereas AI is the ultimate lube.
      // <https://blog.darylsun.page/2025/01/23/se-5-indieweb-carnival-january-2025>

The least one can do about it, is assiduosly to ignore
everything related to AI, as if did not exist, and continue
producing genuine human work and art.

Then, one should avoid (dis-)services like Github and Gitlab
that let AI crawlers to launder your work, be it images,
text, or code.  Avoid AI-firendly services and prefer AI-
phobic, or AI-hostile ones.  catbox.moe, for example,
promises never to cooperate with AI companies:
// <https://catbox.moe/faq.php>
If you have a website, consider joining the no-AI webring,
// <https://baccyflap.com/noai/>
filtering out prose launderers with robots.txt and ai.txt,
enforcing robots.txt
// <https://github.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.txt>
and poisoning the AI crawlers like the filthy rats they are:
