not wanting to be a word thief

I read poetry from forty poets last night
some of these missives were brilliant
others were stunningly fresh
I try to intentionally forget most of it
not wanting to be a word thief
or a plagiarists
I cannot fathom why any writer would use A.I.
What satisfaction could that give them?
I want my own words, my own way and no one else’s.

I do not understand the attraction of using AI for your writing, drawing or cartooning because then it is no longer "yours"
