Artificial Intelligence
If you were to ask folks who love poetry if an artificial intelligent computer may someday write decent poetry, most likely they would be intrigued with the idea, but also find the concept highly unfortunate. Why? Because folks who write and love poetry equate it to human emotion, living and feeling and since a computer is not alive in the sense we think of life and since it cannot feel like humans do, this is bothersome to contemplate. The fact Is that AI computer applications can write poetry and sometimes spit out some intriguing stuff. Kids are creative right? So, if a computer can write poetry and win a contest in the third grade, then artificial intelligent computers can write decent poetry. A book I frequently urge in college student when discussing this topic. Boden posits; "When artificial intelligent computers can adequately judge their own work, these systems will be able to write most excellent poetry." Margret Boden is also known for writing; "Artificial Intelligence and the Natural Man" and thus, is no stranger to such a deep debate.
