AI Poetry - A Solution

Blog Posted by Tom Woody: 7/21/2025 5:00:00 PM

AI poetry and related art is not going away anytime soon. In fact, it is growing and will continue to grow and proliferate. Below I offer a reasonable compromise for the problem as it relates specifically to this site.

Admins should create a separate category for AI poetry and related art. This would include AI generated images, videos and music. Anyone wanting to create AI poetry and/or related art would be free to post here. 

No AI poetry or related art would be permitted as a standard post. This would mean that anything entered as a standard post could not contain anything AI created. 

Admins would modify their rules to reflect the above. In addition, the rules would include wording such as this: Anyone posting AI poetry or related art as a standard post will be issued a warning. If a second infraction occurs after the warning, account will be deleted. 

How to determine AI. If a poet suspects that a standard post contains AI poetry, said poet will run the poem through three trusted AI checkers. If all three checkers determine the poem is more than fifty percent AI, said poet will then report the poem to admins. Admins will attempt to confirm the poem is AI using their own trusted AI checker and if so take appropriate action as outlined above.

Why this makes sense. Again, AI is not going away, no matter how much some may wish it. This compromise makes allowance for those who wish to utilize AI to create art. At the same time, it sets terms for using such responsibly as well as mandatory repercussions for using it improperly.

Wishing all well,

 

Tommy

I just ran one of my recent posts through three AI checkers and got these results: Sidekicker: 73% AI; Justdone: 65% AI; Grammarly: 0% AI. Two of the these results are WRONG...guess which ones. Rudyard Kipling said, "You stand and fall by your own work, remember, and it's waste of time to think of any one else in this battle." But, I do support Tom's idea/proposal.

We are considering incorporating AI detection on the poem submission page. However, we've hit a technology and programming wall. We are researching a solution.

The problem with your solution is that you assume the poet will be honest in identifying their poem as AI-generated. Even so, we could ask the poets at submission time if AI was used to assist in writing the poem.

Since you yourselves have admitted (as well as most of us) that AI checkers are unreliable at the moment, this seems a weak approach. On the other hand, by ALLOWING AI poetry and related art you can easily separate it from the mainstream by creating a new category. Then, use your AI detection along with poets' reports to sanction pretenders who post in the mainstream. AI is not going away. Accepting it and making allowance for it I think is the wisest choice. Thanks again

We are not policing AI at the moment. It's a losing battle that would require more resources than we have. For contests, we leave it up to the contest sponsor to determine how AI poems are handled. If we can implement AI detection on the poem submission page, poems written by AI will be flagged accordingly.

I couldn't even stop confusion over how to wear pants for peps who couldn't run without holding their pants up, no, not up, just holding. This is a site for human creativity, period. I say a no tolerance policy is the only answer to keep Soup real, not tainted. I 100% wish we'd employ this part of your proactive plan: TOMS WORDS IN QUOTES "Anyone posting AI poetry or related art as a standard post will be issued a warning. If a second infraction occurs after the warning, account will be deleted." Wrong is as ignorant as ignorance is wrong and I only want to support authenticity.

I used AI to put music to a poem in a contest and it was so amazing I did it with another. I admit that openly - it made for some nice songs. Even so, I support the idea that the site should be AI free, with another section of AI material where people can post. Especially when moving into an AI saturated world.

I know it’s off topic but surely there’s a better way of selecting POTD than some random clueless algorithm. If Byron, Keats or Shelley were to reanimate from their graves today I wonder what they’d think of our Soup poems selected as praiseworthy for honorary POTD? I think I can guess.

Date: 7/22/2025 9:55:00 PM
Perhaps we should place the burden for the checking of AI onto the poet themselves when they enter a contest?. Just a couple of lines at the end of each poem entered stating what AI checker was used (as determined by sponsor / PS) and the resultant % it throws up. Not only will it shift all the work away from the sponsor but it just might deter / prick the conscience of those tempted to cheat as it's out there for all to see. Cheers - Gary

If discovered Tom, they've in effect lied twice. Once when using AI claiming it to be their own work and once when they misrepresented in their own words the % of AI. I think it will be easier to point out the latter 'error' of the two without necessarily insinuating anything but making them think twice about misrepresenting their work again. Maria I think your idea of a screen shot is a sound one. Cheers - Gary

Even so, at present there appears to be no enforcement in place, so if discovered as fraud, then what? Actually, a fellow poet and I recently checked several poems of a rising poet and found them to be 100% AI. Okay, now what? Reports to admins seem to go nowhere at present

If we have people even now who don't want to admit using AI, how do you think they will submit poems to this extra feature? I don't think it's likely they will. AI generated "poetry" should NOT be admissible for contests. Contest sponsors are aware of the amount of time it takes to check for AI, as well they should. Those of us who spend copious amounts of time trying to find the exact right word, image, literary device, emotion to come up with our creations would be offended if we knew an AI generated poem won. Though I rarely enter contests, this is how I would feel if such were to happen.

AI is here to stay and no amount of wishing will make it go away. That's just the reality Eileen. This gives those who want to use it an outlet and provides for deletion for those who abuse it. Btw, re use of AI in creating music, ask any musician trying to earn a living how they feel about it. It's the same Eileen. Fake is fake is fake. Actors and other artists are also unhappy about AI encroaching upon their professions

I just recently found out that one would could use AI to create music. I know... I'm behind the times. I knew about poems and videos but musical score, somehow that went right by me. These are add ons to the CONTENT or lyrics which is what contains the heart and soul of a literary piece. We can compliment someone on videos, music, images generated by AI because they've taken the time to choose what best conveys their thoughts and words which are... in my opinion, almost sacred. What's the point of reading something if you know the writer isn't a human being with life experiences, joys and sorrows to share. Having said that, I do think admin have a responsibility to take action when sponsors alert them of repeat offenders. There's no way to police every poem. We can read and comment as we like to poems posted whether AI or not, but contests should be another matter.
Date: 7/22/2025 12:23:00 PM
If someone can explain how to remove AI completely from being posted here, please do. AI checkers are out there, but none are 100% accurate. Talking about it and just sitting here, does nothing to solve the issue. Your idea makes sense, Tommy. Thank you for at least offering a solution. My best to everyone. ~ Brandy

The bottom line is that computers are better than most humans at most things (including poetry). It's so very easy for a computer to be average...but it can't think outside of an emotional box like we can--so be original--emotion is totally separate from mathematics - they are dynamic, unless you allow them to be static--a computer can only use a variation of something already written - SO- write something that hasn't been!

In my opinion, AI doesn't write better. It's like a Spock write vs a Kirk write; the former would be technically brilliant but lack the human feel. Robot parents wouldn't be better than human ones, just more technically efficient. Who would better parent, steel or human emotional warmth? To me, it's that simple.

I understand where you're coming from Craig, but being a good poet won't make the problem go away. I've always said that personally I don't care what others do and I just need to protect my own integrity. But there is a point of saturation and I think we're getting close. Then what will PS become?
Date: 7/22/2025 11:28:00 AM
AI is everywhere and we must use our ai radar as best we can not to be hurtful when calling out these incongruities or embarrassing for the supportive poet (not knowing it's ai) commenting on ai potd's, with that being said, it could be helpful for us if administration puts your purposed solution to use, Tommy.

Victor Hugo once said, “No force on earth can stop an idea whose time has come.” And indeed, the rise of AI is one of those unstoppable forces. Yet, while it may assist, mimic, and even inspire, there are realms it cannot truly enter—like the raw vulnerability of poetry, the soul of a song, or the emotion that bleeds through a painter’s brush. These arts are born from lived experience, from aching hearts and dreaming minds. Still, there’s joy to be found in what AI can offer—a spark, a tool, a playful collaborator. The key is to use it without losing ourselves in it. To remember that the soul of true art still resides in human hands—and always will.

So Tommy, not for me, that takes away the very essence of what poetry is. Where’s the joy in reading something that lacks the lived emotion behind the words? I’m all for using AI as a creative tool—to enhance my own work through lyrics, songs, and visuals—but not to replace the heart that drives true poetry. There's a world of difference between assistance and authorship.
Date: 7/22/2025 6:36:00 AM
While looking on my phone, AI is everywhere and there's no escaping it. I can choose to hide the post or select I'm not interested. I do think that if the admin can create a new forum, then a section for AI is not an unreasonable thought. So thankful for all the help here in trying to figure this out. ~ Brandy

Now you're asking them to construct a whole new section. Do you think they are going to be happy fighting out amongst themselves in some pigeon hole corner of the site? I don't know what drives these people but it's not hiding in the shadows, at least with what they present.

AI is here and it's here to stay. PS don't have the time to spend checking AI or getting into conversations with suspect poets. People are never going to be honest about using AI. It's time we accepted the situation and just view AI users as competitors as we would any other poet. Hopefully this might encourage others to up the standard of poetry across the site.

I have to agree with Richard. Artificial Intelligence is here to stay. It seems to me that the only advantage to using it with regard to art and literature is to win competions or make money having it published. It takes the fun and pride from creating something of your own. Solutions : No more competitions and stricter laws on publishing art and literature that wasnt your own idea. PROBLEM SOLVED.

l like these idea Tom, but l dont think PS admin will get on board :( l think its because as you mention AI is now so deep in to the creative Arts that there is no way of stopping it/keeping it in check etc. Im not sure that AI checkers are any good in accurate detection... as its my understanding there are some law suits even in the music industry ( ie lyric writing etc )that have same problems, so iv a feeling that's why PS is not getting involved :( the music industry are trying to make it law that an Artist has to declare its AI produced, at moment any Artist dont have to declare it. Some are honest and declare it, but like poetry there are those that are not honest, sadly.

I disagree => why publish AI poetry here which is garbage and can be created by anyone with the push of a button => Using tools to create images, text to voice and songs embellishes a poem, adding to the readers enjoyment of it. We don't ask that all images be personally photographed by the author. The poem is the heart of the post. => So ban AI poems, but allow tool-created 'art' on original poems.

Not sure Admin has the time to give to this problem. I do believe that AI will eventually become undetectable and will take over everything as it continues to evolve exponentially. But I do think you have good ideas, and we should implement them in the time we have left.

I agree with you, Rob. AI is everywhere and becoming undetectable. True that admin may not be able to do much, but it's nice to have some ideas out there and Tommy's are appreciated.

Tommy, I appreciate you and your thoughts. I can see this being a good way to separate AI poems, from the ones that so many of us create and post from the heart. You're truly trying to help, and that means so much. :)

Y’all should be writing on the new Forum page. Blogosphere has lost much of its interest influence. $.02. And if AI ?? takes over Soup it’s because Management let happen.
