A time to reflect - Is The True Writer Gone

"A Writer must Feel The Words So The Reader Can Feel The Words. By Poet" Have you heard about this new thing, this new thing called AI. Is it friend or foe, real or fake? I was told it is a writer's best friend, how can that be I asked? AI is faster, it has built in creativity. WOW, I replied. It does not seem fair, fair to the true writers. I will never use it, I write because I love to write. My words are my words, good or bad I standby them. AI takes that away from the writer, so why write?

The literary world would seem cold and impersonal if all writng was AI generated. A nightmare scenario! A thought provoking poem.

Thanks for your note. Good to see you. Glad you enjoyed my AI write. I am finding out more writers like to use AI to write for them. Creativity comes from within a writer not from machines. We write our stories/life/how we see & feel things, a robot cannot. I sure hope the AI will fade away but I think they are here to stay. I write because I love to write. A robot cannot do that.... Have a great/blessed day writing away..........

AI -- THE 'hot topic' of the 2020's... Watch it fade away in the 2030's, just like electric cars are biting the dust today... :) gw

I totally agree, they are trying to replace humans thinking A I can do it all, we all lose in the end., computers don't have souls, and humans, are so much more feeling and real, I don't use A I, generated anything, thanks for the good read , :)

I feel this way too. Shame on the poets even here at Soup using it. We know it. And still they do it despite it being against the rules. Keep being remarkable you, Paula.

I agree with you, Paula. AI takes away from the pleasure of human creativity. In fact, it eliminates the humanity. I wonder like you, "What's the point of writing if one uses technology instead of creativity." Thanks for your words this evening. hugs, Sara

Thanks for your note and for you good luck. Good to see you. Glad you found my write to be a great poem. Yes, poets need creativity from within not from machines. I do not think I have read an AI write. I would like to see what they can or can nor do. I still say, a writer writes because they love to write. Hugs...

It has been my experience that AI writes awful poems. I don't use it either. Nice poem.
