OK John

Did you really write this little poem or did you ask AI to write a poem about writing a poem and did it write the poem after studying the poetic works of John Voorpostel...because when I read the poem there are traces of JV in the writing but I'm not sure.....and did I really write this post or was it ....AGGGHHH....LOL

That's funny, like a modern version of this:

“Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was myself. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.” ― Zhuangzi, The Butterfly as Companion: Meditations on the First Three Chapters of the Chuang-Tzu

This also reminds me of one of my favorite people, Laurie Anderson. A recording artist/visual artist/performance artist going back to the early Eighties, still relevant. She was recently presented by The Australian Art Institute with an AI version of The Bible, written to sound like her.

Now Anderson uses that same AI program to generate new works in her own style:

Her observations aren't unlike mine, over the years. Most of what an AI "art/music/poetry" generator will create is crap, but if you have a keen eye/ear, there's gold in there as well, and the kind of stuff you would never have thought of, on your own.

Wow...this feels like we've come full circle, haha...
