Are Poets Obsolete?

[TranquillityBase]

Thanks for sharing the article.  The author makes a good point at the end.  The original poem I posted wasn't great but it was far from bad which I think is the point.  It's likely that if the poem was mixed with a group of poems of similar style it might be hard to determine which was written by AI.  AI will only get better, and quickly.

What I found most interesting was how AI "learns" to write poetry.  Not at all what I was expecting.  Basically the same way humans do, by reading.

I am very curious about the book of poems mentioned towards the end, Travesty Generator.  I wish I could find an example of what she did, but it seems one has to buy the book to find out.
