‘In 2022, I was named the national student poet of the West, one of the nation’s highest honors for youth poets. During my year of service, I performed my work across the country, including at the White House. Yet I couldn’t tell the difference between T.S. Eliot and ChatGPT. 

Apparently, I’m not alone in this lapse of discernment. According to a study published in Nature in November, Americans are more likely to appreciate AI-generated poems than poetry from humanity’s most celebrated authors: Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath and, of course, Eliot.
In fact, not only did the participants prefer ChatGPT’s poetry, but they also found it “more human than human.” AI-written poetry was 17 percentage points more likely to be judged as having been written by a human than the actual human-authored poetry. It was also rated more favorably in terms of “rhythm and beauty.”…’ (Diane Sun, a sophomore at Harvard University studying philosophy and linguistics, via The Washington Post)
