I hope the day never comes that it'll take away the words of each of us as writers. We have ideas that no Mahnken take away from us and no robot. Should be able to take it away from us either. Patricia.

    Hi Patricia.
    Thank you for your contribution and for your well thought out comments. I will not trust it to do anything I can do. That's about where I have ended up with this whole situation.

AI can write beautiful sentences and paragraphs. But it remains to be seen if it can portray believable imitations for heartfelt emotions. Thanks for sharing.

    Hey Ric.
    I have tried AI To do some limited grammar checks, but I have never trusted it to create paragraphs or sentences. I know if I give it the core idea, it will give me text that represents the idea. I refer to it as assembling, rather than creating. If I give it the ideas, it can assemble something from that. That's just my obtuse opinion. Thanks for adding your comments in the review.

This is such a good poem, I was only talking g to my 14 year daughter about school last week and she said that her teacher asked them to us AI to write something.. I was completely horrified. Calculators help us do math but thos AI business is a step beyond to far a together. Pretty scary I'd you ask me
Very well written, thanks for sharing Robert
Best Wishes
Nicki

    Hi Nicki.
    Thank you very much for your positive and encouraging words about the poem. I appreciate hearing about the school situation as well. It is scary that a machine can make Decisions for us. It has applications in hard science but not in creative writing, or human thinking, in my opinion.

A blessing or a curse? That is the question. AI not only threatens originality and creativity, but it encourages laziness. Just feed the robot an idea and sit back to wait for the results. Artificial intelligence versus lack of intelligence...

    Hello June.
    Thank you for reading and reviewing this poem. I believe AI has many applications in hard science, but that is because all of the factors are present. AI cannot create, it can only "assemble." I also believe in writing, it is capable of plagiarism.

My son in law has written poetry based on the styles of many great poets, but it tends to lack 'soul' at this stage. Although it's a good level, it still lacks that creative style, however God is not mocked, those cloned sheep failed for that reason, man can't breathe God-life into creation, beautifully written, blessings Roy

    Hello Roy.
    I am not a fan of AI. I see a difference in creation and making. I published an essay about the difference years ago. Creating is what GOD did to the cosmos. (Something from Nothing) AI has no soul or conscience. It is a collection of non-related data assembled into "something." Thank you for the review and comments.

    Sometimes ambition can blind us, you will know, but allow others to notice.

I don't know what to think of AI when it comes to writing. Universities are worried about students using AI to help with their papers. But who do they ask to check on a paper to see if a student's cheated? AI. You certainly express your frustration. Already I am seeing the Power That Be step in to finish my sentences for me, even if their wording isn't what I want. I can't believe a robot could write a decent poem. There has to be emotion behind the words, and it can't provide that. Excellent rhyme and flow. You can ask AI to write a review of it for you. Such a timely subject. judi

    Hello Judi.
    If you give AI an outline, it will write a story for you. It Does not create, it makes. I see a big difference in creating and making. Creation starts from zero. Making starts from something. I wrote an essay about that a long time ago. I explained the difference between creating and making in my opinion. It's another of my obtuse observations. Thank you for your comments and your review.

great questions that have no answers. AI is indeed a threat to creative types and to all of us as well. I have used it for poetry analysis and for research purposes but I recognize the real danger. the AI-generated poetry I have experimented with are not bad. Hard to tell it was generated by a Bot which is part of the problem.

I have noticed an explosion of AI-generated journalism articles lately and realize that in the near future much of our writing will be done by AI bots with little human input.

    Hello Jake.
    Thank you for your thoughtful comments. I do not trust AI for creative writing. I believe it is capable of plagiarism. Creative thinking is not a trait I believe AI has but as long as a person sets the parameters, it can fill in the blanks. Makes me suspicious.

Robert, This is a very well written and thought-provoking poem about AI. I think anything that messes with a man's mind or work has to be of the devil. God gave us a mind to use. Thank you for sharing my friend. Teri

    Hi Teri.
    I am suspicious of AI for creative writing. There is no conscience in that area and how can we be sure our writing won't be compromised or stolen? Thank you for your positive words about the writing. I have been thinking about this for a long time.

I am compeled to give you a six for this fine poem. I just watched "Megan" on Amazon Prime and It is AI scary. AI has the potential for destroying the writer/ poet as we know it(LOL). A fine poetic commentary. Do watch "Megan."

I believe AI is extremely dangerous and we need to somehow put a stop to it, before it completely controls our lives. Thank you for sharing this poem with us. I hope it causes people to pause and think.

    Thank you, Barbara. I have totally forgotten how to format the text. I appreciate your comments. It has potential to destroy creative writing.
    I couldn't format this to give me 4-line stanzas. Oh well.
