Poet in Residence: Peter Devonald Issue 52: Word Art, Slogans and Manifestos

Word Art, Slogans, and Manifestos 

As we enter an increasingly AI future, do we lose ourselves in artificial art, slogans, and manifestos? Or do we gain new ways to see the world?

 How long before we are tested to check we aren’t AI-enhanced or even robots?

How long before we are subjected to something like the Voight-Kampff test used by the LAPD's Blade Runners? Or is all our work checked by AI against past work – in the same way, university papers are now checked for plagiarism with software like Turnitin Solutions? There's a line between it enhancing us and replacing us!

 Enclosed here are four works by AI-assisted dreams.

 1) A redesigned AI-generated slogan and image for Haus-A-Rest.

 

2) Two, word clouds of my poems for 2024 – all words condensed and finite.

 

3) Two poems – free form and Haiku. Are they any good? Do you enjoy them? Or do we only make them good by what we bring to the work?

 

As a friend wrote “It is quite good isn't it?! But it has that feeling that it is words arranged well but there is no heart in it. But AI is a terrifying beast!”

 

4) AI slogans for Haus-a-rest.

 

Then my work without AI:

1) A manifesto of sorts, first published by Issue 4: Ta DADA by the6ress. Still available to buy, very impressive book, so much great work: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1352766557/issue-4-ta-dada-by-the6ress?click_key=1b6dad30806eeba3f607a48a14b7a171f1d2b683%3A1352766557&click_sum=e6928877&ref=shop_home_feat_2

2) A poem image – art and poetry. Several appeared in galleries for years.

3) Goldfinches Sing.

Enjoy, Endure, Just Be.

Haiku of Slogans, Manifestos and Delight

By A.I Dreams

 

Ink spills on the page,

whispers of dreams take their flight—

silent truths ignite.
