   MMP: Many writers, artists, and musicians are not -- as I've found out to my   
   dismay.  They see it as a threat to their careers, as it can produce fiction,   
   poetry, artwork, and music for free and in a matter of seconds -- effectively   
   replacing them.     
   Whereas I see it as a tool that I can use to create things (illu   
   trations/music) that will enhance the presentation of my poetry.  I've seen   
   some AI generated artwork that I is equal to (if not better than) the majority   
   of paintings I've seen in museums.    
    Artists (in all art forms including poetry) are going to have to up their   
   game if they're going to compete -- and that, IMHO, can only be a good thing   
   in the evolution of art.
