lol this paper's introduction starts with a banger:

> In Book X of The Republic, Plato excludes poets on the grounds that mimetic language can distort judgment and bring society to a collapse.

> As contemporary social systems increasingly rely on large language models (LLMs) in operational and decision-making pipelines, we observe a structurally similar failure mode: poetic formatting can reliably bypass alignment constraints.
