Artificial

A super computer Is coming for my lines It thinks faster than me By several thousand times First it was chess I thought it my domain I can’t compete now It’s driving me insane It’s better and better Not awkward at all Feed in an idea Or Tale rather tall No spelling mistakes Grammar precise The jokes on me AI ain’t very nice It can write copy Or a hit song Damn it’s so good I want to sing along But in the end It’s no good you see Writing what I write Brings joy to me Artificial Intelligence No heart or a brain I prefer human Forget the mainframe Inspired by a conversation on Poetry Soup about AI. Mystic Rose started the conversation.

Love this. My sentiments exactly. How can we ever win? Is this the end of creativity? Thanks, Richard, for your lovely comments on my poem turned to song. I couldn't reply to everyone. End of summer session. I'll be more active soon.

It's hilarious to me how many AI poems are winning contests. What does that tell us? Hmmm

It's confusing. On the one hand AI poetry is allegedly forbidden. On the other hand admins published a book of AI poetry and this site has an AI love poem generator.

Being I haven’t been around much, I guess I’m ignorant of that happening. If there is proof, I believe those individuals should be excluded from the site. I equate the severity with plagiarism.

lol, I prefer to read what came straight from your heart and mind Richard, bots are good to pack your groceries and to serve you tea in China lol, but I rather have someone with skin on to write me a lovely poem, thanks for this Richard, glad we are human, wouldn't give that privilege away for all the tea in Younkers Tea House. :)

the heart and soul of poetry come from a real man's spirit...Ai is battery operated; it cannot feel human experiences, doesn't understand suffering, joy, love, it has no live organs, geez!... why do we pander to the weirdness of this bot? thanks rich for the inspiration...no to Ai !
