L Milton Hankins Poet Quatrain

On the Creative Arts

A world denied the creative arts will grieve
The pleasures music and visual arts achieve,
And, let us never forget, the writers' crafts
Have they yet invented a robot that laughs?

Greg Gaul August 6, 2021 at 1:22 PM Love this last line and all the debate rushing behind it on the efficacy of AI. Well done. A thought provoking poem is sometimes hard to find, but this one delivers.

Caren Krutsinger July 18, 2021 at 5:24 PM I think we need to invent this "Have they yet invented a robot that laughs" L Milton Hankins July 18, 2021 at 5:42 PM It will be okay if the mechanism knows why h/she is laughing!

Rico Leffanta July 17, 2021 at 11:36 AM Yes; the Japanese are working on belly laughs at the moment as they dislike the "canned" laughter of American TV shows..... L Milton Hankins July 17, 2021 at 11:43 AM Oh my! I'm truly sorry to hear that. Well, I suppose I should wish them success, but if they are that interested, why not film their shows before live audiences???
