Could be! Those random rhymes and wording that doesn’t make sense. Congrats on POTD!

Thank you, I agree but but it's getting harder to spot as AI is being humanised.

Congratulations on your POTD win. I enjoyed reading your wonderful "AI is killing creativity" write. It Is... I have written about AI. I say, AI has No heart. Only a writer with heart can write. Have a blessed day with your win.......

Hi Tina, first I would like to welcome you to Poetry Soup. :) I hope you're enjoying your moments here. Not sure why anyone would write poetry using Chat GPT or AI and say it's their own. Seems to me those that do so are lazy, or, they feel their thoughts/emotions aren't worthy of being read and felt. Frustrating and sad, all at the same time. Congratulations my dear friend, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Thank you very much for your lovely welcome and congratulations. I can't believe that some use AI, and they think there's nothing wrong in doing so. It tells you a lot about their character.

I feel insulted, when a poet ises it, And they do here! You are right, none of us are stupid. So their cheating, breaks a bond with me, thet signify I cannot trust them. Our poems make thumbprints. Then a poem comes a long that is so AI!! And they even get a POTD? I wont sign those, because I know I can no longer trust them. It’s a very sad experience to me.. right. If you cannot be yourself, who can you be? When you do that write your name, fake Smith! Congratulations. Pangie

I think someone probably told you by now that POT means poem of the day. There is also a poem of the week, etc.. and the top of the page in the dark blue writing there’s different categories. You will see poem of the day up there.. nice to meet you. Pangie All poetry, sites have winners and losers! Justlike life! Soup me anytime you like!

Thank you very much, I left another site because of it, some were proud of what they got a computer to compose for them. I Hope it's not rife on here.

Congrats on your POTD. Yes, AI is killing creativity and poisoning PS. But for genuine poets, AI is a challenge to create more creative poetry which AI can't emulate. ^___^ JCB

Thank you, I totally agree with you Sadly AI is moving at an alarming rate and it will smother everything in the end.

Tina, congrats on your POTD. Here are a couple of quotes from Rudyard Kipling: "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man/women/person is hard business. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." "You stand and fall by your own work, remember, and it's waste of time to think of any one else in this battle." I love Rudyard Kipling.

Thank you, I've heard some poetry platforms actually encourage it.

Dear Tina, Congratulations on POTD. If it isn‘t from the heart it isn‘t creativity. AI is changing the landscape dramatically and being a mental health counselor/therapist it threatens our job. Although there are good things too if used appropriately and not for cheating. Amen! Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Congrats on POTD Tina. AI is a polarizing subject to be sure. On the one hand, it can be a very useful tool in many facets of life. Scientists and doctors are already using it to improve diagnoses and treatments. As far as killing creativity (in poetry), only for those who use it and pretend it's their own work, a very small minority of the posters here on PS. The rest of us have our creative juices flowing freely. Enjoy your special day and remember, kindness rules.

I understand the angst to a degree, but there's absolutely nothing to be done about it. Dilly admits as much in her blog. If everyone just worried about what THEY are doing and not about what OTHERS are doing they'd be much happier, imho

I swear half the movies that come out of Hollywood are AI generated they’re that bad. It’s everywhere, and what might be a trickle at the moment on the Soup will soon be a torrent. We are already being programmed to think like bots anyway. We are fed a diet of targeted algorithms every time we switch on our (too smart for their own good) phones. We make decisions every day based on some data analysis algorithm that has subconsciously been planted in our brains. It’s true, I saw it on Star Trek once.

They were cheating back in the forties?

I didn’t need AI when I was in school. That would be highly unethical and dishonest. I had an honours student I paid to do (I mean help me with) my assignments.

Tom Woody
Date: 6/11/2025 5:52:00 AM

And btw, students (etal) have been finding ways to cheat since the beginning. Nothing new under the sun...

Tom Woody
Date: 6/11/2025 5:34:00 AM

Yes, like most useful inventions it can and will be misused. Sadly

Tina Cavell
Date: 6/11/2025 5:29:00 AM

Thank you very much I know it has been used in medicine to good effect but I can't understand why people would use it to cheat. I read of students using it to get top marks.

Tom Woody
Date: 6/11/2025 5:02:00 AM

Embarrassing or trying to call out individuals who are suspected of using it here is the opposite of kindness, especially since it has been established that AI detection tools are UNRELIABLE. Good people can get hurt by such accusations

"Though I write from my app, not my impassioned soul I'm praised and lauded as I play a poet's role Don't tell me I lie I'm just an AI Guy Subterfuge is my game and a trophy my goal!" Or you can post CUTE Limericks like Robert Gorelick's above, it's called "AI Guy"! Lol

PS has e-mailed everyone a list of ai detectors, practicing using multiple's helps you recognize which poems aren't from the heart. I wouldn't worry, unless you are a sponsor of contests. It hasn't caused any problem for me. If I come across one I move on. Find solutions for yourself~ condemning is left for haters

Tina Cavell
Date: 6/11/2025 5:26:00 AM

Thank you for your congratulations. Tom Points out AI detectors are unreliable so I don't know what the answer is.

BRAVO on POTD Tina. its a hot topic for debate on soup at the moment, Tania has a blog, recently 4 of us did a limerick collab posted by Lin lane - do read it - we have been labelled 'mean girls and Fred Mertz for writing that poem) - (that comment has been removed) but we stand by united that AI shouldn't be allowed on soup,

Jan Allison
Date: 6/11/2025 1:30:00 PM

I've just done a parody of a song which i must post asap lol I am so glad another blog on AI is up and its great a poem on the subject has got a very well deserved POTD:-) hugs Jan xx

Jan, that comment was removed but the not the vile member who constantly makes these comments at every chance. It does not go un-noticed and seems nutty,

Tina Cavell
Date: 6/11/2025 5:22:00 AM

Thank you, I've only been here a few weeks and have a lot to learn. AI might have it's uses in medicine etc but certainly not on a poetry site. My poems may be short but they're all my own words

Jan Allison
Date: 6/11/2025 4:17:00 AM

AI generated poems are still winning contests as not all the sponsors use the AI checkers. Its a shame the cheating isn't acted upon. I have posted a poem on 'cheetahs' - all my own work yet I know limericks can now be generated by chat gp. some folk have no shame and no creativity of their own:-( hugs Jan xx

I agree 100% and sadly there is plenty of AI poetry flooding on to soup. I used to report it but have given up as nothing is done. If a poet posts 10 poems over a period of time and they all come up as 100% then a red flag is raised. I will never stoop so low:-( hugs jan xx

Tina Cavell
Date: 6/9/2025 5:26:00 AM

Thank you, It's very dishonest of people to do that and sad that some people find it acceptable.
