AI Conflict with Poets

'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee' ~ tale of woe for how life used to be

There's no Trail of Tears to escape ~ stylized humans in robotic shape

A hostile takeover, a conflict ~ no court order can interdict

Bury AI and set poets free ~ to claim their authenticity

It may not be seen as a threat, yet ~ some day perhaps as a regret

Fantastic Lin well said AI ain't taking over our world... don't need ghostbusters call on us AI busters:) joking apart it is scary times for writers, musicians, everyone . Also kids using AI for homework instead of doing research for themselves... AI don't get it right ... like ere they talking about buses with no drivers, taxis ( cabs) driverless. It's in London no way I go in ~ i walk everywhere is it over there yet ? hugzzz my friend <3 fav this your top of my favs :))

I don’t know which is worse. AI users or plagiarists. There is some good to AI but plagiarism is inexcusable

I think it's all been said, now if only there was something to be done about it. Thanks, Ink.

Oh I do love one liners with internal rhyme Lin, I don’t think authentic poets will ever need AI, but it seems those ‘stylised humans in robotic shape’, (beautifully worded) are here to stay, A very relevant series of Monoku’s, and all syllable perfect, superb human work! Cheers David

Their herd mentality is probably here to stay, but authentic poets like you and I will never be relegated to being branded. We’ll always be free to write from the life we’ve lived and from dreams we hold. That’s something no metallic creature can do. Thanks for being you, David.

It will get to the stage where people won't seek knowledge but just press a button to get the answers, it will be the downfall of all humanity. I don't think we've seen anything yet. When people realise the consequences it will be too late. Tom

Do you think AI will then write ‘A Poetry Book for Dummies?’
