Next AI poetry project – transit poems?

Published by bryantohara on November 1, 2024

Now that I’ve learned to turn weather data feeds into poetry, I want to take it to another level. For my next AI poetry project, I want to use MARTA public transit data to create poems with audio and visuals, but I want to use different prompts and/or workflows.

At the moment I’m thinking of riffing off an idea from The Ghettobirds collection: imagining MARTA as a sentient being, with the data functioning as surrogates for senses. I’m also thinking I’d like to put myself – or others – directly into the creative loop. Thinking biometrics or likes.

A Real Poet Writing a Poem with AI

Published by bryantohara on June 9, 2024

This is a somewhat real-time deep dive into one of the ways I use generative AI (in this case ChatGPT4) to develop a poem, along with my views on doing so.

Apologies in advance for the clickbait-y title.

After searching YouTube for videos on the topic, I wound up being more than a little disappointed. All I found were either rants about “AI will ruin poetry” or demos of “look at how cool this is with only a prompt or two”.

I can do better than that, even with an admittedly less than perfect presentation.????

Be warned, this is a long one, folks, so buckle up.
