Join us for a session, oh what a delight, A webinar that'll shine a new light! We’ll dive into poems, both old and new, But with AI’s magic, what will it do? Can robots craft verses with rhythm and grace, Or will they fall short in the poet’s embrace? We'll ponder the question with laughter and glee, Does AI have the heart to write poetry? From sonnets to haikus, and free verse too, We'll explore what the machines can construe. With algorithms and code, will art be improved, Or are human emotions the one thing removed? So grab your device, don’t miss the show, We’ll unravel the mystery, let curiosity flow! For AI in writing, both clever and spry, May just be the muse that makes poets fly high!* ------------ Join us for our upcoming webinar, AI and Authorship. Thursday, December 12 at 1:00pm EST Featuring Brian Porter, Sasha Stiles, and Thad McIlroy *created by ChatGPT
