A.I. and American Sentence Practice😐

The writer learned about AI-generated poetry and the concept of the "uncanny valley" in the expression of a gap in depth of poetry of AI and that of more meaningful poetry of human creators. AI models learn by analyzing literary texts, allowing them to mimic the nuances of human poetry. Some people use AI as a creative tool, raising questions about ownership: does the poetic work belong to the AI, the human director, or the literary texts that trained the AI? This remains uncertain.

This understanding is based on Abdul Rehman's article on Medium.com: https://medium.com/@abdul.rehman_84899/ai-poet-crafting-verses-in-the-digital-age-2451c03b3136.

I feel tempted to abandon my practice of writing seventeen-syllable sentences, or American Sentences, as presented by poet Allen Ginsberg. The writer learned the process and enjoyed the results, which were written snapshots of my surroundings—usually coffee shops, but sometimes outdoor settings as well. An AI tool could change this dynamic.
An AI tool can spit out a seventeen-syllable sentence so easily based on a rough sentence. It reminded one of a friend who gave up on his beautiful photography after the advent of iPhones. Was it because there was no more creative advantage that he had by knowing how to use the film and the camera and to manage the service of film developing? Now, the writer can relate.

Though the writer intended to self-publish some of the American Sentences, usually they never made their way from the smooth Japanese paper and liquid ink in which they were written. The process was the thing, as the writer said many times. The discipline and pain of writers producing seventeen-syllable sentences seem unnecessary since the AI tool accomplishes it efficiently, if not excellently.
