Spoiler! :
yeah I get a bit bummed out looking around YWS (I don't visit much outside of april) and seeing AI art and writing. love to see people use the plagiarism machines that waste so much energy that could've gone to anything else. also, big fan of these poems, they're devastating
S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse
a persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma per ciò che giammai di questo fondo
non tornò vivo alcun, s'i' odo il vero,
senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.

Inferno, Canto 27, l 61-66.

@TheSilverFox thank you for the kind words at the end, greatly appreciate it. i am loving your thread + the direction you're going in. the honesty + approach rules.

and yeah!! it's disheartening. also just fully unnecessary. at least rip off pre-existing art lmfao.

Hey there! You've written some very interesting poems this NaPo. It's not much, but no worries there, alright. Poetry doesn't need to be perfect or calculated, what matters is if you had fun writing it. ^^ "Hapax Legomenon" is def. my favourite. PS: I'm also a Dr. Strange fan ;)
  








Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
