Down We Go

Down We Go

Today we bury
the last wordsmith
in captivity
who wrote
in an archaic format
formerly known as poetry

We perform this somber eulogy
in the shadows of anonymity
for as you all know
freestyle writing
(in fact freestyle anything)
was banned long ago
by those beasts now in control
who fear the power of creativity
more than terrorists with guns

So truth me told
(another dangerous commodity)
this burial ceremony
is really a requiem for us
trapped in a stagnant society
that has gone flat line

Here in UK we aren't allowed to speak the truth anymore only the truth that is government approved.  😶

Sadly, here in the USA the forces of censorship are also ascending..

I sit here scrolling through Cosmo wondering just how many poems have been written by A.I   I am pretty certain that some have.

I know on a certain social media site that I frequent, the poems that get posted on there are used to train(not sure if that is the right word) the AI program to develop and enhance it's writing skills.. Free thought may soon be extinct :(

Really?  It's scary isn't it? Do they ask your permission? It's not this site is it?
There's been a number of authors, recently, who have been found out using AI to write their books. I mean from scratch. The whole thing. They were publishing a brand new book in a series every 2 or 3 months. And they claimed that they just worked very hard. Cheats and liars. Personally, I think writing is about the whole creative process; not just the end result.

What is this world coming to?

Twitter is the social media account where they use posts to enhance their AI product they call Grok.. And no they do not ask permission... Elon Musk does whatever he wants :(
