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?

Silent One May 1, 2024 at 12:08 PM AI has good and bad points... sad when some use it to cheat.. Congratulations on your placement in the contest.. Paula Goldsmith May 2, 2024 at 11:43 AM Thanks for your note, Congratulations and for the placement. Good to see you. Glad you enjoyed my AI write. I enjoyed writing this one for your contest. Thanks for having it. Creativity comes from within a writer not from AI. I write because I love to write. A robot cannot do that. Have a great/blessed day writing away..........

Evelyn Judy Buehler April 14, 2024 at 9:38 PM The literary world would seem cold and impersonal if all writng was AI generated. A nightmare scenario! A thought provoking poem. Paula Goldsmith April 15, 2024 at 9:02 AM 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..........

Gershon Wolf April 14, 2024 at 6:57 PM 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 Paula Goldsmith April 15, 2024 at 8:56 AM Thanks for your note. Good to see you. Glad you enjoyed my AI write. I sure hope you are right. AI fade away/fade away/fade away.... Be Gone.... I write because I love to write. A robot cannot do that.... Have a great/blessed day writing away..........

Heidi Sands April 13, 2024 at 11:21 AM Good point. I agree! Write naturally and that is it ! :) Paula Goldsmith April 14, 2024 at 7:59 AM Thanks for your note. Good to see you. Glad you enjoyed my AI write. I still say, a writer writes because they love to write. A robot cannot do that.... Have a great/blessed day writing away..........

Mystic Rose Rose April 12, 2024 at 4:31 PM 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 , :) Paula Goldsmith April 14, 2024 at 7:57 AM Thanks for your note. Good to see you. Glad you enjoyed my AI write and found it to be a good read. Your are right, computers don't have souls we humans do. We feel the words an AI cannot.... Have a great/blessed day writing away..........

Stephan McBride April 12, 2024 at 1:15 PM This is AI writing this , caught you : ). Just kidding, AI would not be able to feel the emotions we have when we write from the depths of the soul : ) Paula Goldsmith April 12, 2024 at 2:20 PM Thanks for your note. Good to see you. Glad you enjoyed my AI write. I am a writer from my God/soul/heart not a robot... You are so right, a robot can Not show/feel the emotions. A Writer must Feel The Words So The Reader Can Feel The Words.... Have a great/blessed day writing away..........

Andrea Dietrich April 12, 2024 at 10:20 AM 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. Paula Goldsmith April 12, 2024 at 2:18 PM Thanks for your note. Good to see you. Glad you enjoyed my AI write. Have a great/blessed day writing away..........

Hilda Greenhough April 12, 2024 at 7:49 AM ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. Go ahead and write. It's your right. AI makes me cringe too. Paula Goldsmith April 12, 2024 at 2:01 PM Thanks for your note. Good to see you. Glad you enjoyed my AI write. I am with you when you say, AI makes me cringe. I still say, a writer writes because they love to write. Have a great/blessed day writing away..........

Anne-Lise Andresen April 11, 2024 at 1:02 PM - A tool that I find uninteresting... if a "poet" doesn't have creativity he is not a poet - I agree with you 100% Paula - A great poem :) - GL in the contest :) - hugs Paula Goldsmith April 11, 2024 at 1:50 PM 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... Have a great/blessed day writing away..........

Chetta Achara April 11, 2024 at 10:47 AM It has been my experience that AI writes awful poems. I don't use it either. Nice poem. Paula Goldsmith April 11, 2024 at 1:45 PM Thanks for your note. Good to see you. Glad you found my write to be a nice poem. I do not think I have read an AI write. I would like to see what they can or can not do.
