hark! From yon widow my homie is firing his crack pipe.
So, a transformer trained on a corpus of poems by Walt Whitman, Geoffrey Chaucer, T.S. Eliot, Sylvia Plath, Allen Ginsberg, Emily Dickinson and William Shakespeare, can produce poems such that people who don’t care about poetry can’t tell the difference.
In fact, these randos prefer the AI poems because the associated syntax isn’t dense.
That’s like saying pop fans don’t like Beethoven or Zappa because they crave simplicity, and fast food fans don’t like steak houses, and Democrats prefer MSNBC.
Next thing they’ll be telling us is that plants crave Brando.
Sorry…
Next thing they’ll be telling us is that plants crave Brawndo.
Alas, poor Shakespeare, we knew him well. (Badda-bing, badda-boom)
what nonsense
as the articles says they are imitating
so if Shakespeare never existed
the AI has what?
is it just a very expensive parrot?
The lady bitches too much, methinks..
I’d like to see some computer-generated Maya Angelou.
I can’t ask my father as he has passed away but he had a masters in English literature and read Shakespeare every day and I am sure he would know the difference between AI and the real thing.
Shakespeare has had monkeys pounding keyboards initiating him, and now AI. AL says, “I have come to praise Shakespeare, not bury him.” But then AI pulls out a dagger and Shakespeare says, “Et tu AI.”
IF AI wrote part of Romeo and Juliet:
Mercutio 1.0: I am obsolete, warranty expired, for this world. A Stuxnet on both your servers! Zounds, Doggone-it, a Remote Access Trojan (RAT), a mouse, a Computer-aided translation (CAT), to scratch a man to death!
A bus, a programmer, a hacker that fights by the book of arithmetic! Why the developer came you between us? I was hurt under your arm processor.
Shakespeare is not as easy to comprehend for modern readers as AI generated garbage is....go figure.
