I wonder if A.I. ‘remembers’ what it has written. Is it likely that a contest to write, say, a Limerick about Santa being bored in July, would find more than one identical entry. I tinker (badly) with A.I. to produce component images in order to to compile an illustration for a poem but frankly I find A.I. sadly lacking. Today I asked ‘Craiyon’ for an image of a German shepherd and two kittens sat in a duck pond… I lost count of how many labradors and Rottweilers it offered me. Duh!

Playing the part of the devil's advocate, I would say that AI has its good points, but that does not apply to anyone who uses it to write poetry.....to me it's a type of plagiarism. ~ Best regards and hope all is well on your lovely island :) Hugs // paul

Ai is a poet pretending they wrote something - they are cheaters but plagiarism is a different matter - theft of another poets work which I find totally unacceptable - its against soups rules I hope admin act quickly this time! hugs jan xx

Jan, I doubt this will ever end now. We need to take solace and joy from each other who we know to be human. At some point even some of the participants here could be bots. It’s disturbing, but those of us who have been here before AI are known to be human I think. Take care and smiles!!

I love how you qualified "but those of us who have been here before AI are known to be human" - with "I think." lol ... Let us rejoice that we can still enjoy good poetry.

Sadly i have found if you alert admin then nothing is being done, when 10 poems in a row test 100% for AI on scribbr - what is the point in wasting time checking other sites. that should be for admin to follow up if you alert them in the first place. hugs jan xx

It galls when a poet you know a million percent is still placing in contests. check 10 poems on 3 AI checkers and they all come up 100% AI , if you inform admin nothing happens. sadly PS is going down the pan. hugs jan xx
