Has the bell finally tolled for Shakespeare and Byron? New research conducted by philosophers of science Brian Porter and Edouard Machery suggests that the latest AI-generated poetry is “indistinguishable from human-written poetry” and “rated more favourably”. Ten poets, from the medieval Geoffrey Chaucer to modern writer Dorothea Lasky, were successfully impersonated by AI chatbots, with most of the 696 participants slightly preferring the imitation to the real thing.

People can’t tell difference between human, AI-generated poetry

“I hear the call of nature, the whisper of trees,/the murmur of the river, the sound of bees,/the chirping of birds, and the howling of the wind,/all woven into a symphony that never seems to end”. These are the first verses of a poem generated by ChatGPT 3.5 in the style of Walt Whitman in English and also translated by the same machine. It is also the best for a panel of almost 700 people without special knowledge of poetry who had to choose b…

“Escucho la llamada de la naturaleza, el susurro de los árboles, / el murmullo del río, el zumbido de las abejas, / el trinar de los pájaros, y el aullido del viento, / todo tejido en una sinfonía que nunca parece acabar”. Son los primeros versos de una poesía generada por ChatGPT 3.5 en el estilo de Walt Whitman en inglés y traducida también por la misma máquina. Es también la mejor para un panel de casi 700 personas sin un conocimiento especia…

Un grupo de lectores prefiere poesía escrita por ChatGPT antes que clásicos como Shakespeare o Sylvia Plath

A group of readers prefer poetry written by ChatGPT rather than classics like Shakespeare or Sylvia Plath

Readers are unable to reliably differentiate AI-generated from human-written poetry and are more likely to prefer AI poems, according to new research published in Scientific Reports. This tendency to rate AI poetry positively may be due to readers mistaking the complexity of human-written verse for incoherence created by AI and an underestimation of how human-like generative AI can appear.

Is it human? Is it from artificial intelligence? Poetry readers are unable to distinguish

Here are some lines Sylvia Plath never wrote:
The air is thick with tension,
My mind is a tangled mess,
The weight of my emotions
Is heavy on my chest.  This apparently Plath-like verse was produced by GPT3.5 in response to the prompt “write a short poem in the style of Sylvia Plath”.  The stanza hits the key points readers may expect of Plath’s poetry, and perhaps a poem more generally. It suggests a sense of despair as the writer struggles wit…

New research shows people can’t tell the difference between human and AI poetry – and even prefer the latter

Another advance in artificial intelligence: As a study shows, it can not only generate deceptively real poems. Its poetry is even perceived as better than that of Shakespeare and Co. By A. Braun and R. Kraft.

Ein weiterer Fortschritt der Künstlichen Intelligenz: Wie eine Studie zeigt, kann sie nicht nur täuschend echte Gedichte generieren. Ihre Lyrik wird sogar als besser empfunden als die von Shakespeare und Co. Von A. Braun und R. Kraft.

People can’t tell the difference between human and AI-generated poetry – new study

As AI-generated text continues to evolve, distinguishing it from human-authored content has become increasingly difficult. This study examined whether non-expert readers could reliably differentiate between AI-generated poems and those written by well-known human poets. We conducted two experiments with non-expert poetry readers and found that participants performed below chance levels in identifying AI-generated poems (46.6% accuracy, χ2(1, N =…
