I decided randomly to see what the limits of writing poetry with AI would be like. Using Fable, I orchestrated a sort of modernist poem a la Mallarme's "A Throw of the Dice will Never Abolish Chance." I think the url slug is a good title: "A sending of the prompt will not abolish statistical universals." I wrote the text but got the model free rein to make the formatting design choices, add some (bad) lines that mostly got removed, and code the html file. Very surprised by how good (creative?) the layout is. The product definitely turned out way better than anything I could have done by myself.
Upon showing it to several people, only one, I think, really understood it. Japanese and modernist poetry and a bit of math are, perhaps, a rare combination.
The flaw is: one could say it is too cerebral (one could also say the same to T.S. Eliot). The form itself is nothing unique too. Empty spaces (間), a sort of flowing river on the right in reference to Misao Fujimura, and, as I am always wont to do, references to Wittgenstein, Buddhism, some random arxiv paper, montage theory, Walter Benjamin, and German — these things have been on my mind recently. Broadly, I am trying to hint at possibilities of AI-human collaboration, form and space, and the mixture of truth and aesthetics.
