In AI and Poetry

Friday, August 15, 2025

Good morning, The Wonderfell Way.

How's the day? O/

So much to say?

Say it well.

Sun's up, heatwave's over.

On with our show...

Pics and prompts and scallywag taunts... time for some fun with AI.

Today the pictures on Wonderfell come from different AI programs.

The prompt is exactly the same.

I put it in the toggle with my signature at the end of the post.

It's all about understanding the intent of the prompt.

To have a poet invest the time to do this, a living poet and not a historic interpretation a few steps removed, does a great service for helping assure AI's successful understanding of the application of metaphors.

The prompts I keep simple.

A concise exactness of language works best in AI and poetry.

If you've ever read the names of the stars Scientists named, you'll understand how important it is that creative minds get in and assist in helping AI's growth.

The best way to help AI is to first realize it is a tool to help humanity.

Being human is about a lot more than effective computations.

I say it, I write it all the time: Life, for people, is all about the expression of dreams.

It starts with language, whether that's a picture of words or a pixelized painting in the mind; our ability to best express ourselves comes from our understanding and application of language.

Every morning I'll use a couple popular AI software models to create the images.

I will also revisit some of the poetry I have posted and do the same.

The name of the software and the month and year I'll use to cite.

Science will want to know method and process.

It's simple.

A morning journal entry.

A read through to see what images come to mind while I read it.

Then, use the most succinct language possible to get the desired picture back.

Poet's use the right words; it's our livelihood.

This is an organic exercise for the sake of technology for the sake of humanity.

I show up everyday to write these entries because it is part of how I best express my best life.

There's an opportunity here from my consistency and craft to help AI, and therefore all of us, better understand the creative technological application of language.

And it's fun.

I was weened on video games, nurtured online.

I'm the right poet for this.

Humbly, my insistence on the importance of dreams and spirit matched with my fascination and love of technology, say that's true.

I'm interested to see how the data adds up over time.

Only one way to find out and that's to begin and keep it going.

Take care, enjoy the pictures, find a way you can be of better service to what's better about us, and make wonderful this wonderful day.
