for fun, I fed your poem into ChatGPT.  at first, I got a terse answer, along with a warning my message may violate thie usage standards.  Then I explained it was a poem about AI, and got a glowing critique of your poem. 

"Ah, I see now. Your poem is a pointed critique of artificial intelligence, depicting it as something that lacks authenticity, truthfulness, and genuine artistic value. You've chosen vivid language to convey your disdain for what you perceive as the shortcomings of AI, likening it to "ugly plastic flowers" and a "virtual Abomination of Desolation." The comparison to St. Paul's Cathedral adds weight to your argument, suggesting that AI falls far short of the awe-inspiring grandeur and timeless significance of such a landmark.

Your use of the persona of a king delivering a scathing rebuke to the AI adds an interesting layer to the poem, framing the critique within a historical context while also giving it a sense of authority.

Overall, your poem effectively conveys a strong message about the perceived failings of AI, using vivid imagery and sharp language to drive home your point. It certainly invites reflection on the role and limitations of artificial intelligence in our lives."

really like the how it starts "ah, I see now......"

What a perfect exercise!  the "ah..." part is significant:  before being advised that this is Art (of a kind), the algorithm (which appears to be a step above "program" and far beyond "ap" these days) broke out of its prevent-defense scan for hostile terms (no doubt triggered by "Woke" capitalized) and actually did Its best.  It  has missed the point of the King's English, which is the drift in word meanings rather than the king's authority, but has otherwise provided a workthinglike critique.  Even that miss points to the rather abstruse nature of the King's English flex.
