I'm sure lots of people here have opinions about AI poetry both in specific and in general.
I really didn't start this thread to discuss those, I was interested in following up on Tiger's
ideas about what sort of official policy PigPen should adopt. At the moment there is none
and I thought, like tiger, that we should have some official policy on it even if it only amounts
to asking honest people to be honest. I was proposing that we state that original poetry,
unassisted by AI, was the only type permissible for all the threads except miscellaneous poetry.
The reason I made an exception for miscellaneous poetry, besides my own curiosity, was
that AI and AI assisted poetry definitely falls under the classification of "found poetry"
which we currently allow to be posted in miscellaneous with the proviso that it be labeled
as such.
I think it's a good idea for PigPen to directly state a policy and I think this thread should
be used to discuss it and come up with one we think is appropriate.
P.S. But I think it would be great to start another thread where we can discuss what we
think about the upcoming wave of AI assisted writing and even what we think about AI
individuals and what rights they should and shouldn't have. Sentient AI individuals may
not be that far off, maybe as soon as two years from now. Not only is that going to
present some moral problems, but maybe it could get us looking at what the status of
primates and other intelligent animals like whales and octopi should be.
Oh hell, I just started it:
