As a poet and one who enjoys poetry, I couldn't agree more. Sadly, I've become perhaps overly suspicious and I find myself asking poetry posters whether or not they are the original author.

I've also lately taken to labeling my own work as "NOT AI generated" in one way or another.

I must however confess to being facinated by AI assisted visual art in various styles, particularly when guided by skillful prompts. I suspect I will eventually use such tools myself to generate illustrations for things that I write.

This leaves me struggling to understand why I feel so differently about the two genres?🤔🧐😮😳
