Can you tell the difference between AI poetry and human poetry? In this ChatGPT poetry experiment, I test AI creativity by presenting different poems to a workshop of writers. Watch writers react to AI poetry and participate in this human vs AI guessing game. I explore how well generative AI can mimic modern poetry and if we should be worried about it replacing writers. Join in for this debate surrounding AI and creative writing.
What makes a writer? In this deep dive into writer identity, the writing community, BookTube, AuthorTube, and the poetry community, I explore literary criticism, creative writing, the publishing industry, and the artist vs content creator debate. I cover booktok drama like Milo Winter’s Age of Scorpius and Haley Pham, alongside influencer authors / instapoets like Rupi Kaur. Let’s take a look at publishing trends, art and capitalism, and the creator economy.
