This poem was inspired by the developments in AI which are affecting the creative industries, in this case the writing community. If you feel strongly about the subject of this poem, please check out the story ‘Art Club’ in my dystopian collection, After the Burning.

Advancements have come on so much over the last few years it is scary. I do wonder if there will be a way to notice a difference between real writing and AI writing as these programs advance?
Yes, I wonder how readers will be able to tell if a book was written with AI unless there is a requirement for the author to state it. I have seen discussions on how to tell if artwork has AI elements but it is a minefield really.
loved it
Thanks!
Ohhhhhh, so very timely. Scary stuff indeed!
Unfortunately, the issue is not going away anytime soon. I just hope readers appreciate human effort and creativity over … whatever that is. I’ve done a few satirical posts on the subject: http://linesbyleon.com/2023/03/03/free-book-friday-march-3-in-conversation-with-chatgpt/
Agreed! I enjoyed your post, thank you.
Glad you did!
