I asked chatgpt to rate lyricism

So I asked chatgpt to rate some lyricists from different genres from national to international. Reasoning is also given. Summary is given at the last. Tell me do you agree with the ranking of the reasoning?

Here's a comprehensive breakdown and ranking of each artist purely on their 'lyricism', focusing on literary and poetic qualities such as 'depth', wordplay, symbolism, complexity, thematic range, and consistency, while stripping away cultural impact or influence:

• One of the Greats: Timeless, literary masters with unmatched complexity and depth.
  
• Above Great: Exceptional lyricists pushing the boundaries of the craft.
  
• Great: Highly skilled with consistent depth, versatility, and artistry.
  
• Above Good: Talented but limited in depth, versatility, or complexity.
