AI vs. Classic Poetry.
A recent study found that many readers can't tell the difference between poems written by AI and those written by famous poets like Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson.
Surprisingly, when people didn't know who wrote the poem, they often preferred the AI-generated ones. Researchers believe this is because AI poems are written in a simpler, more accessible way, which makes them easier to enjoy compared to the more complex writing styles of traditional poets.
