Dreaming in Google AI

I am amused and appalled to see that this post has already been devoured by Google AI:

Based on the search results, “Mary Ann Jenene” appears to be a fictional or obscure subject of a memoir or artistic project referenced in a recent blog post about a search for a neglected poet. It is not a widely known historical figure, but rather a reference mentioned in an anecdote about a bookstore visit.

Context: The name appeared in a blog post on Orange Crate Art dated March 27, 2026, within a story about searching for a memoir allegedly written by Van Dyke Parks.

The Subject: The writer was searching for a, “neglected American poet, Mary Ann, Mary Ann,” whom he identified on his phone as Mary Ann Jenene.

The Item: The subject was not a conventional book, but a cardstock folder containing smaller cards detailing her life and poetry.

Other search results for similar names (such as “Maryann,” “Mary-Ann,” or “Mary Anne”) refer to entirely different individuals,

and so on.

What Google AI doesn’t understand is that the post reported the content of a dream, something the post itself makes clear to any human reader.

But now I’m wondering if I can find some poems by this neglected poet. She might turn out this blog’s Lillian Mountweazel.
