Cloned Poetry - AI Personified


You creep into our lives, a shadowed cheat,
with shameless claim that you are one of us,
and so with honest poets you compete,
and cause a vile unnecessary fuss.

You take the place of poets that are true
who share their feelings spoken from their hearts,
replacing them with tripe as you pursue
the fame a poet laureate imparts.

You spew your words with elemental ease,
a fraudulent perverse poetic hack;
just blending in and trying hard to please;
your musings flow yet with emotions lack.

Though artificially intelligent
you’re duping us with this embezzlement.

Paula Goldsmith Date: 7/19/2025 9:00:00 AM Congratulations on your POTD win. What a creative/wonderful write you have here. Love the ending... I say, True writers write from their heart ~ AI does Not have a heart to write with. Written By Human Poet. I have been off the computer for a few days. Have a blessed day with your wonderful win................
John Lawless Date: 7/13/2025 2:02:00 PM Well said...IMPEACH THE ALGORITHM...
Ellen Gwaltney Bales Date: 7/11/2025 10:17:00 AM I'd like to throttle the human who invented AI, John. I think it's mostly vile and extremely unfair! Keep writing your wonderful REAL poetry. Ellen
Kim Rodrigues Date: 7/11/2025 8:49:00 AM So strong language..perhaps not strong enough. Congrats on a worthy POTD!
Arlo Parker Date: 7/10/2025 7:17:00 PM A “real” poem named POTD! Go figure… Nicely done, Sir.
Brandy Nicole Date: 7/10/2025 12:18:00 PM They'll always be advantages and disadvantages with technology. Using it wisely, is key. AI didn't ask to be created ! So, when used in the right or wrong way, it's because of a human. A thought to ponder. Distinguishing between what's real and what's fake, seems difficult these days. Sad, indeed. While this may be happening, I don't wish to dwell on a tool someone is using in the wrong way that I have no control over, because it keeps me from truly enjoying poetry. Your thoughts are both deep and powerful. Congratulations John, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy
Gershon Wolf Date: 7/10/2025 10:41:00 AM Thanks for this, John. AI is exactly what you described - a sham and a fraud imposed by the mindless elites on a society that neither wants or needs it. Just another way to dumb everybody and everything down. Thanks for writing this, and congrats on POTD. ~ Gershon
Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 7/10/2025 10:29:00 AM Hello John, first congratulations on POTD! When I ran my contests with a panel of judges we were able to determine that about a 5th of them were AI generated. Sad and a brave new world is upon us creating a poetic dystopia that seems like a utopia just machine driven. AI is the new God. Summer Blessings, My Friend, Daniel
Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 7/10/2025 9:45:00 AM - Absolute word of truth... congratulations on your p.o.t.d., John - hugs
Beryl Edmonds Date: 7/10/2025 6:23:00 AM Very true John, a poet cheat is a poetry thief. Congratulations on having received the honour of poem of the day… Beryl
Karen Jones Date: 7/10/2025 5:27:00 AM This is great! Love it! Congrats on potd!
Tom Woody Date: 7/10/2025 5:02:00 AM Nice to see you taking your turn in the spotlight John. Wishing you a happy day
Jan Allison Date: 7/10/2025 4:49:00 AM Many congrats on POTD John AI/plagiarism certainly is a hot topic and I am so glad poets are still writing about it! I've recently been labelled a 'hypocrite' after publicising Eileens/Jerry's POTD when it has Ai music - the commenter failed to say the poem was genuine!!! go figure!!!:-) hugs jan xx
Zyrool Gifford Date: 7/10/2025 4:46:00 AM Congratulations on winning POTD with this beautifully written piece. An interesting write. Have a great day as you celebrate.
Unseeking Seeker Date: 7/10/2025 4:19:00 AM Hot topic these days. I agree with your well worded sentiments, John, warmest congratulations on POTD
Tania Kitchin Date: 7/10/2025 3:46:00 AM John, an excellent poem. Sadly, AI and plagiarism have spoiled the soup. Congratulations on POTD.
thriveni c mysore Date: 7/10/2025 3:30:00 AM Congratulations on POTD honor dear poet. powerful write. Cheers!!!

Tom Cunningham Date: 7/10/2025 12:31:00 AM Well said John, congratulations to you on the honour of POTD. Tom
Jan Allison Date: 7/9/2025 2:54:00 PM Bravo for writing this John, the amount of AI POEMS on the site is sickening, some now no longer post 100% Ai but a huge percentage of their poem is created by a bot and don't get me started on plagiarism. It is sad to see the site deteriorate -and the fact if you alert admin nothing gets done about it anyway:-( i thought WE were meant to write poetry but now some folk merely press a few buttons and claim the glory:-( hugs Jan xx
Tom Woody Date: 7/9/2025 2:53:00 PM And yet AI poems keep winning contests. How do we get explain it John?
Terry Flood Date: 7/9/2025 2:52:00 PM There’s many of us here, John, who are nigh on seething with rage over all this. I’d love to write something myself but I suspect it would be unprintable. But you’ve made our point most eloquently (which I suspect I wouldn’t). So, nicely done and well said. Terry
