   That’s so interesting, Kevin. AI cannot replicate the human element of poetry and there’s also so much more to the art that it fails to take into account.

      I agree with you Esther. An AI can trawl the web for poems on a particular theme, for example birdsong. However, although it may pull together segments from To a Nightingale by Keats, or The Darkling Thrush by Hardy, to produce something. It won’t be able to appreciate birdsong, feel emotions and come up with something original of it’s own.

         Exactly. It can’t replicate that.

      I agree with you, Liz. An AI can copy and pull together bits from poetry already out there in the world, but to produce something uniquely meaningful a human is needed.

   The poet’s very heart and soul and emotions like a river should flow. That would make it 100%

      You make a good point, and I agree with you.
