Imagination

"AI has stolen the imagination from writers. The human writer is the true creator from their heart. AI is the great copier because they have No heart to write with." By Poet Writers imaginations like to play, with creativity and words each day. Only with a writers big human heart, a writer gets their pen in hand to start. Keeping your imagination alive, then our readers can give a big high-five. Tell me ~ will AI really survive, or could robots be just a lot of jive? Bringing my muse and pen will always stay, I am a human poet all the way.

Dear Paula, true creativity isn’t just about novelty it’s about connection heart to hand, mind to metaphor, poet to reader. Even your couplets carry a signature only a human could bring which is a touch of wildness, a glint of soul, a refusal to be anything but real. I’ll keep bringing my own imperfect pen and will be cheering all the louder for fellow poets like you, who prove that imagination is, above all, alive and unafraid. Summer Blessings, Dear Paula, Daniel

Hi Paula, I'm with you all the way. There's a challenge to creating a poem and the internal thought process is good for our brain health. I would never use AI to write for me since that would defeat the whole purpose. Sometimes, poetry gives me a chance to work out some of my thoughts and that way I don't have to hold onto hurt. That's something a computer chip can never feel. Hopefully you are well and sending smiles!!!

Me too, Paula, but AI is already being taught and used in English Classes in High Schools and Colleges. AI tools have been used for years to assist writers and Teachers for decades. It just came to the forefront when individuals started to use it in place of their own thoughts to write. I personally have no idea why anyone would want to use an AI program to create a poem. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us through your poetry, my friend. Bill
