@manton The ChatGPT reminders do look quite useful (& apparently fun 😂)

@manton Lest anybody get the wrong notion, these are clearly formulaic haikus; three poetic lines strung together in 5-7-5 fashion. There’s no sense of an experienced human moment in any of them. As a ChatGPT exercise I am sure these are fun to see created, but no one should take them for actual haikus. These merely perpetuate the stereotypical way haikus are perceived in western culture.

@apoorplayer Yeah, let me also go on the record and say robots will not replace humans in poetry. It’s not to be taken too seriously. Hope it doesn’t offend.

@manton No not at all. I do realize you’re experimenting and throwing stuff on the ChatGPT wall to see what sticks. My larger concern about AI is simply that people will come to take AI-generated content for “the real thing.” That’s the slippery slope of all AI-generated content IMHO.

@manton And FWIW some of the lines are quite lyrical! Each line in and of itself is interesting and poetic in its style. They just don’t add up to anything one might call a haiku.
