Tell me it isn't -- a Poem for Friday Writings


    Uncultured Robotic Virtual Machine; 
        on our desks

        I am old fashioned 
        Sorry folks, once more 
        New "ism" cropped up 
        It's eating poets 
        Like pinball machines 

        Like computer games 
        ate with appetite 
        Our scourging demon 
        Men and women cursed 
        Like housewives succumbed 
        Teens and little kids 
       "Writing" poetry 
        Takes their time away 
        Pushing buttons 
        See where wheel will stop 

        This new monster chews 
        Swallowing, spitting 
        Tempting buttons pushed
        Just microseconds 
        Out comes a new verse 
        Verse they wanna call 
       "Poetry" blasphemed 
        Imbecilic words 
        Instant poets born 

        New Artificial 
        Intelligence reigns 
       "AI" victim's wooed 

        Another poet 
        is seduced to hell 
            _ _ _

Oh very well-penned, Jim. I can tell you're not a robot, lol. I do believe few real poets will try 'the easy way' because we like to do our own creating. It would take all the fun out of it if we just fed the instructions into a non-living entity and awaited the result.

" eating poets
Like pinball machines "... this is absolutely well said. There are already a number of books on amazon that claim co-authorship with ChatGPT. Don't know if there are any that conveniently didn't mention it as well... "seduced to hell" is so true.

A poem is born out of a relationship between the writer and his/her perceptions and thoughts so a brand new name is needed for AI generated verses.

Yes, don't call them poetry and let them fly as a fun toy.

Hope the difference remains and I believe so because nothing can compare human creativity
