AI

Let’s be clear! “AI” is plagiarism -- 
all grammar checkers, any writing aid,
major editing program, can be a form of
plagiarism...laziness at the least in my
humble opinion.  Someone who writes
a biographical outline, a story outline
of any kind, and then hires a ghost writer,
or major team of professional editors, to 
bring about the final, flawless product,
because the original was so sloppy or
hackneyed, is not the writer-originator 
as I see it.  Agreed! There are
no entirely original thoughts, for each of
us stands on the shoulders of the many
tall and talented thinkers, richly endowed
innovators who came before us – what we
owe them, and our chosen craft of relatively Free
Expression, is to try and maintain a posture
pure as possible when attempting to create. 
Approach authorship as a Mystical exercise -- 
As a personal lover.  A rapport with God.

Thank you, Andrea; the sentiment is mutual. Love your works. I honestly did not think that AI repugnance would be such a controversial issue. I never even thought of it till it became a contest topic. Apparently it is far more in use than I can imagine. Go figure. Certain the poets I follow do not use such a gimmick. One can tell I believe. Gut feeling.

Are you against thesaurus or rhyming dictionaries? I sure hope not. As an ESl teacher, we allow students to use AI to correct grammar and punctuation. However, you give an inch. They take a mile. Sad what society has become.

Thesaurus, rhyming dictionaries are fine. Writers have always used them, made their own for easy reference when commercial products were not available. I have more grammar books than I can count...probably should use them more often. I like a couple shots of booze, or a few glasses of wine -- I am talking about falling down drunk. AI created poems do our craft harm. Does the human psyche and spirit harm. I know you understand, Andrea. But sad so many do not.

The era of encyclopedias is over; new technology prevails, and Generation Z is taking over. I am very grateful for AI.

I see now...maybe I will write another. I agree with you, something AI generated is not creative poetry at all. But apparently others have no problem with it. The maybe ten poets I follow regularly I am certain are true artists, and would not use such a cheap gimmick. You fight the good fight. Blessings Paula.
