AI plagiarizes then reconstructs so I guess it is not plagiarizing [word for word] -- but there is no original thinking -- it is ALL based on what is already written -- the dilemma is that there's no going back - the genie is out of the bottle -- That person's poems via AI [I won't call him a poet] -- well, I just would not feel good about it -- that said, cut-up poems seem to have won some kind of acceptance -- I don't like them either - I mean - have you got something to say or not? It couldn't be too original or profound if you need AI or cut-up to deliver it -- I guess post-modern art was once frowned upon as well -- Where does this all lead?
