## What Jamie wrote

This study prompts an interesting question — is AI generated poetry easier or harder to detect than other AI generated text? I think it would be harder to detect.

> We conducted two experiments with non-expert poetry readers and found that participants performed below chance levels in identifying AI-generated poems. Notably, participants were more likely to judge AI-generated poems as human-authored than actual human-authored poems. We found that AI-generated poems were rated more favorably in qualities such as rhythm and beauty, and that this contributed to their mistaken identification as human-authored.

Either way interesting how this played out.
