William Shakespeare - Shall I Compare Thee To A Summers Day? [ai-visualisation]

This is a new square-bracket for my titles, and one I may well be using a lot in future.

I used the VQGAN -CLIP machine learning tool to visualise individual lines from the Shakespeare poem: 'Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?' and put them together.
I thought it'd be a bit disingenuous to completely digitise Shakespeare with text-to-speech, and rather (badly) read it myself.
It's a little low-pass test I tried, I've not done any poetry recitals before (let alone Shakespeare!) - if there's enough interest in the format, I'll do some more at higher quality.

New year, new playlist, new me.

The tool is free, and the link is below :

I highly recommend the 'Copy to Drive' function as soon as you start, to link it to your Google Drive account for write-access reasons.
And if you do decide to go on a Collab rabbit-hole, all your Notebooks are stored in one folder, this one is in the same folder as my Colourisation notebook!)

The inspiration for this particular poem, was the Pogo mix of Star Trek's Picard and Data:
