We love to see this community growing. Also love seeing some friends join us from places we've met before, such as @khdpoet and @pgervois. A good moment to remind ourselves that the best way to succeed on Farcaster, is to meaningfully engage with others. This is a place of conversation, more than a place for broadcasting. The algorithm rewards taking part in conversations more than it rewards receiving likes. So, let's start a conversation, inspired by a cast shared by @ashwini here earlier: Is poetry dying due to the way people are using AI to read and write?

Thank you for starting this conversation about poetry. No, I don’t believe that poetry is dying because of AI. Poetry is one of the ancient art forms and it is therefore extremely resilient. I’d like to stress that no technology is a danger to poetry, and certainly not AI. We have experienced a renewal of poetry since poets invaded the blockchain without asking for permission and started to actively dialogue with photographers, filmmakers, sculptors, dancers. AI is a tool - one of many- at the disposal of a poet to assist him in his/her creative proces. Tomorrow, with future technologies not yet invented, poets of the future will still be experimenting.

This is a controversial and interesting question! I don’t think poetry is dying, it’s evolving. AI offers new tools for creating and reading poetry, but the soul of poetry, emotion, depth, and human experience, can’t be easily replaced by algorithms. Some AI-generated poems might feel shallow, but when real poets use AI creatively, it can push the boundaries of poetry, just like any tool in history, from pen and paper to the printing press. That said, there’s a valid concern that AI’s quick consumption or mass production of content might dilute the deep attention poetry demands. But I believe poetry will always have its audience, those who seek meaning and beauty, not just fast content. Platforms like Farcaster show people still love conversation and creativity, which is a vibrant space for poetry🥰

Interesting to see how poets and poetry will evolve alongside AI… I imagine some will embrace co-authoring with AI and some will create in reaction to, so like a return to raw maybe really unedited unpolished writing or modes of recording like voice and really lofi handwritten or an inscription on stone! The human heart will love what it loves and if AI helps humans communicate truth and beauty - we will resonate with things that move us on a heart level. Just need transparency around the use of AI by creators.

I don’t think it’s dying but I think we have to be very cautious so that it stays a tool that help poets, and not one that create fake poets + so happy to see @pgervois & @khdpoet over here 🥰
