Poet Wanted; No AIs Need Apply!

“ Artificial intelligence has the same relation to intelligence as artificial flowers have to flowers.”

I object!

As an aspiring poet, I am really, truly irritated and massively annoyed when people post poetry online unattributed.

Did they write it?

Who wrote it? Or, should I ask what wrote it...?

I absolutely hate that—from now on—I'll be suspecting that a machine wrote the poem I'm reading...

We have entered the danger zone...

Will it from now on be incumbent on us poets to deny that a machine has written what we publish?

Heaven help us!

~Poet Wanted; No AIs!~

Today I happened to pass by
Miss Gherity's Tea Room.
A posted notice caught my eye
Below her nom de plume:

"Poet Wanted—Not AI"
Is what the headline said.
"Intelligent, not Artificial"
So the subtext read.

I found myself in full accord
With what the poster stated.
How could a golem ever feel
What my heart's contemplated?

A robot's but an artifact,
While I'm a son of God.
I'd rather read a single word
Composed by flesh and blood.

For iambic pentameter—
I care not how sublime—
Banged out by inorganic brains
Is just not worth my time.

No one wants a soulless poem
Cluttering their head.
Inspiration comes with breath;
Not from machinery dead.

FOR THE RECORD:
I am a living, breathing poet... NOT an AI!

I can't write a poem with snap
My rhythm and rhyme just don't slap
And try as I might
My meter ain't right
But it's genuine non-A.I. crap!

It's sad that some are trying to post something that took them a few seconds as art...
