A Wesley hymn on penguins?

Would you sing a hymn written by a computer? I wonder how you would back up your answer to that question. I suspect the instinctive answer of many would be ‘no.’ But why not?

The answer cannot be because a computer won’t be good at it. AI technology probably became a better songwriter than you some years ago. I took the liberty of asking ChatGPT to write a hymn in the style of Charles Wesley about penguins:

In waters deep they dive with glee,
O’er ocean vast, so wild and free,
With every plunge and joyous leap,
They show God’s care for all who weep.
