On the Birth of AI Poetry

On the Birth of AI Poetry

With reckoning, we must conclude
Our techno masters have pursued
The human brain to cast aside
As muse embraces its new bride

And so the columns that once fell
To keep us bound within their spell
Are churned out now, crisp and clean
By soulless, heartless cold machine

No use here, mill of the mind
No sweat to pen, or the grind
All achieved through lounge and laze
With ego gorging lauding praise

Is Shakespeare turning down below
At creators course death blow
Will Frost be wearing sour sorrow
What path now, would he follow?

Those last two stanzas are gold and exactly what I feel about AI poetry...not poetry at all. You should have sent people over here while you were commenting on Tom's blog with such fervor. This would have been the best comment! Just copy paste it there. Hope you're on the mend health wise.

It's sad that this 'cold, heartless and soulless machine' has displaced great writers like Shakespeare and Frost. They will surely regret over the new intrusion of artificial brain. There is no sweat to pen, no raking of the brain. Everything comes easy at the fingertip. But do the run- of- the- mill creations have a soul... I wonder! Beautiful poem, Richard.

The originals are still around but I guess it takes a lot of time and setting up. Always nice to you Nette.

Yep, getting older has its challenges. I hope the surgery went well and that you make a quick recovery.

Hi Rick, Thanks for the comment, yes this AI is a real spoiler. As for me, I'm just home from surgery but I'm doing well. Getting old mate. Going over to look at yours
