What happens if you let the AI take over? What happens if you let it be a poet? How creative can an Artificial Intelligence write? Is it creative after all? Philipp Charaoui, a German author with a deep interest into how new technology can shape the way artists work has put it to the test and let the AI write 23 classic text types like an epic poem, a sermon, a theatre play, etc. The Open-AI software DALL-E has generated the illustrations and Chat GPT the text.
