“Collaboration is a process where two or more individual souls work together to exchange skill sets & create something new & different. It is not a process whereby one Poet, enlist the skills of another Poet, who is obviously more talented, to upgrade her-his poem in order to win a contest or be listed as best poem. This is dishonesty on  part of personalities involved. It is much worse than enlisting the aid of AI. It is called artistic corruption which will not aid personal or human evolution.”

“Poetry cannot ever become a fully fledged profession if poets play games with integrity, authenticity, honesty and humanity’s agenda of evolution into the Heart Centre, from rampant competition, domination and materialism.”

Contests exist to assist us towards self-validation. When AI, as an algorithm, is involved in contests they become highly suspect in such assistance. Everyone involved in keeping the system of Contest placement in place using artificial intelligence, are involved in fallacy & cannot call themselves poets. Poets, like all other artists, are to advance authenticity & consciousness, not impede it. Competitive life as part of the Dark Ages will therefore be maintained, holding humanity back.

Every judge of artistic art in whatever form assess via their perceptual framework. No human on Earth is free from their framework or we wouldn’t be here. Only the artist him or herself can know the true value of their art as only their own soul knows how to improve it.
