Interesting article, Carla! Have you read/listened to Tim Green's interview with Sasha Stiles, a poet who uses AI in her work? I was extremely skeptical, but I found she made many persuasive points, as well as being a fascinating person. I like how you address the cento and erasure poems here, too. Art has always incorportated a certain amount of borrowing, tweaking or even outright theft. But AI may be different in kind and also orders of magnitude.
You’re right, AI will grab more data (right now, it’s so clumsy that it’s laughable._ But I think the underlying issues of borrowing from the past will not be different— and some may create fabulous centos, etc, from AI-software. But hey, I still write in a notebooks!
Very nice, the genius translators, AI will not be taking them down! I like that.
I am loving the idea of "found poems" using text from advertisements.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Carla. It's good to hear both the ups and downs of AI.
Thanks for reading Pamela!
Useful article. Except a concern of visual artists is how they alter an image, collage parts of it, erase intention as well as emotion.
