Can Computer
write poetry ?
● This is a provocative
question.
“ It might actually tell you a
lot more about what it's like
to be human than ... about
what it's like to be a
machine trying to be a
human.”
- Dan Rockmore.
4. Looking for history…….
● Poetry allows us to explore the
depths of what means to be
human. It evokes emotion,
imagination, and connection
between author and reader.
● Poetry generators was born
from the Victorian enthusiasm
for automata. In 1845, inventor
John Clark debuted his Eureka
machine at the Egyptian Hall
in Piccadilly, London.
5. There was an old man with a
Breard
There was an old man with a beard,
Who said, “ It is just as l feared ! -
Tow owls and Hen.
Four larks and a corn,
Have all built their best in my beard.
A Man Called Fred
There once was a old man who belt.
He said “ See the lovely felt !"
It was rather coastal,
But not tobacco still,
He couldn't resist the theoder
Roosevelt.
● These are Limerick verses.
● The characteristics of Limerick verse : have a five lines, Rhyming
scheme is : AABBA
● Which poem is written by Humanbeing.
6. So the first one is
written by Edward
Lear
● We can not define.
Which is written by
Poet or which is by
Machines.
● Both poem followed
the rhyme scene
perfectly.
8. Written by Machine
Written by Kurtis hessel
● The category of the human is unstable.
● Without knowing we can't say which was written
by machines. we assume that but are assumptions
never real.( It can be, but not in the form of truth.)
9. ● Love poem
They asked for words :
The words are :
Ocean, hateful, black, weak,
Short, heavy, cruelty.
● I am looking for how these
words are included in love
poems.
● I am in hypothesis that poem
should not as like love poem
● If that is not then some unique
thighs I am finding out.
10. Roses are red,
Violents are blue,
The spirit is hateful
And so are you.
Orchids are white,
Ghost ones are rare,
My voice is weak,
And so is your hair.
Daisies are pretty,
Daddies have style,
A Lanturn is illuminating
And also so is your smile.
Last line of the poem :
An ocean is beautiful
11. Alliteration Generator :
● If we look to alliteration in our
own poem, then the
alliteration generator helps us.
● They ask for a sentence or
word, then they give multiple
results.
● I am typing the sentence like :
‘Ball is burning besides
the bout’
12. So we can say gender
baises don't showed by
Machine
● Name Generator :
13. : For male and Female’s name they showed the
same profession and same options in
separate forms.
14. Limitation of poetry
Generator :
Machine or
computer can't think
about current
issues.
Way of thinking , ideas
we come to know that
what we don't know
and never think.
Sometimes they don't
accept our words.
Absence of the fresh
feeling.
We can’t feel the
delightness. Like we
feel in our own writing.
But will they ever
really pass as poets?
