Editing, Counting, and the Robo-Intern

The first ten amendments of the Constitution of the United States. Here are summaries in a haiku-like-but-not-haiku format. And a translation thereof.


Poems of Rights Poemas de Derechos
1
Freedom of speech,
Freedom of religion, assembly,
And the press too.

Libertad de expresión,
Libertad de religión, reunión,
Y prensa también.
2 Right to bear arms,
A well-regulated militia,
Necessary for a free state
.
Derecho a portar armas,
Una milicia bien regulada,
Necesario para un estado libre.
3 No quartering troops,
In private homes without consent,
During peacetime.

Sin alojamiento militar,
En casas particulares sin consentimiento,
En tiempos de paz.
4 Unreasonable searches,
And seizures are prohibited,
Without a warrant.

Búsquedas e incautaciones,
Irracionales están prohibidas,
Sin una orden judicial.
5 No double jeopardy,
No self-incrimination,
Nor eminent domain.

Sin doble enjuiciamiento,
Sin autoincriminación,
Ni expropiación.
6 Speedy and public trial,
By an impartial jury,
And legal counsel.

Juicio rápido y público,
Por un jurado imparcial,
Y con representación legal.
7 Civil trials by jury,
For cases over $20,
In federal court.

Juicios civiles por jurado,
Para casos de más de $20,
En la corte federal.
8 Excessive bail,
Cruel and unusual punishment,
Are prohibited.

Fianza excesiva,
Castigo cruel e inusual,
Están prohibidos.
9 Other rights retained,
By the people, not listed,
In the Constitution.

Otros derechos retenidos,
Por el pueblo, no enumerados,
En la Constitución.
10   Powers not delegated,
To the federal government,
Are reserved to the states.

Poderes no delegados,
Al gobierno federal,
Están reservados a los estados.

This was realatively easy with generative "AI" (Bard, in this case), but not quite what I asked for, nor not formatted to my wants. With a parent that was an old-school programmer, I grew up with the phrase "Mainframes need their Mommies." Likewise, it appears that "AI need their Editors." So far, it is like working with a super energized and fast intern, who's imagination full-stops at the end of the page.
