Poets unite!!
The blatant attack on the originality of the collective poetic soul continues as AI sucks the blood of our human family emotions and spits it back out in the name of art. Yet is the poetic “art” AI offers subjective, when held up to the light of the human world to judge?
What determines the merit of AI authenticity? Who holds the keys to the expression and perspective representing the kingdom of humanity? WE DO!!! The dreamers of dreams and actors upon a stage unapproachable by the algorithms and viperous poison of computer plundering.
I am continually shocked at the audacity of humans to use computers to write poems and consider it as viable as masterworks we have cherished for generations. The ability to create fresh and conceptually original work has propelled artists for centuries.
I’ve dreamed for years of a poetry renaissance that brings poets together in one concentrated effort to find an explicit and profound beauty in truth. This truth is one that machines will never recognize. They can only copy, paste, and adapt to our organic navigation.
An all out war against the constraints of the current rules of poetry is evident and always has been. Apathy has brought many so called poets to the point of allowing computers to do their homework and get celebrated grades. It’s time to drop out of this school of thought.
There is a school of poets that are dedicated to perceiving, creating, and reciprocating all the emotions of dreams only we as humans can dream. What does this mean?
DREAM YOUR OWN DREAMS POET!!! DRAW FROM EXPERIENCES AND MAKE A PERSONAL STATEMENT THAT IS YOURS AND YOURS ALONE!! YOU ARE THE POET… NOT A BLINKING BOX OF LACKLUSTER LIGHTS!!!!! BE THE BEST POET YOU… AND ONLY YOU… CAN BE!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteWe can make a difference!! Thank you for reading!! 🙂
DeleteAbso-bloody-lutely… I do not congratulate myself on making a great brew every time I crack a can of beer… these people are at best deluded at worst deceivers… neither has merit.
ReplyDeleteI just know us human writers can still throw the machine a sidewinder or two!! Appreciate you!
DeleteAll kinds of art - poetry, literature,music and painting are informed by the fact that the author knows what it's like to be human - to have human feelings and emotions, to have struggles and suffering and joy and triumph. No computer can ever know or understand any of this - it can only ever copy the patterns from what people have written about it. chatGPT isn't even fed the actual words. It deals with numbers. So a word line "invisible" is translated via a look-up table into a huge array of numbers (in gpt3.5 there are 12280 of them). Then this massive list of numbers is fed into a neural network, which does a sequence of mathematical calculations on it, and similar representations of all the previous words, and hence will come at the end with predictions of how likely each possible word is to be the next one. It then picks randomly from these, weighted towards the most likely. It has no choice about the outcome - even the random number generator is just a mathematical calculation. So it is completely "deterministic". Start with the random number generator in the same state, and it will produce exactly the same output every time.
ReplyDeleteThere is no element of thought or feeling emotions. It has no concept at all of what it's like to be human. As you described in one of your poems, it is "breathless" ie has no humanity, no soul.
It’s a bit of an algorithm lottery isn’t it… a ribald raffle of poetic riffraff!! The scary thing is how it is getting harder to read them sometimes… I know I have been deceived. The use of chat GPT zero could certainly help.
DeleteWould you go to a theatre or concert to watch and/or listen to AI robot performers? I certainly wouldn't. So why someone thinks there is creativity is in the artificial 'word' is beyond my comprehension. Let AI have a separate platform because apples and oranges don't grow on the same tree! 🙏🏼Universal Peace & Love 🪷
ReplyDeleteWith that tag line you are not so anonymous Karin!! We have to keep the poetic fruit fresh with real deal poetry… I have seen some crazy talking Star Wars R2-D2 & C3PO robots at Disneyworld but they were not reciting their own poetry!! ⭐️
DeleteWell said !!
ReplyDeleteMuch obliged!
