Quote of the Day, He’s Correct, But For Not Quite The Right Reason edition.

From the alt-text of a Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal cartoon of a few days ago: “Anyone who thinks AI endangers poets should first prove that there exists a poetry journal with more readers than contributors.“

I actually looked up the AI poetry project that this comic is referencing, and I have good news, for given value of ‘good:’ while most of the population may not be able to recognize an Allen Ginsburg or Sylvia Plath poem if it bit them on the ass, but the ones who can will be the ones who actually decide what poems get published in the aforementioned journals. As for flooding the commercial market: joke’s on you, Scooter Magee! There is no commercial market! Good luck trying to make a living on AI verslop when nobody pays money for poetry anyway!
