What is the role of the human poet in a post-AI world? What can you bring to a poem that an AI can't? And how can you work with AI tools whilst keeping your human ideas intact?

We'd love to see what you can do - submissions are open for Issue 05 until June 21!

Image of a human-esque face in close-up, sort of like a foetus, clearly formed but existing in a world of meat. The facial expression is calm, as if sleeping. The image doesn't look quite right - it's high resolution and detailed, but what it depicts is impossible. The image is AI-generated.

A quote, black text on a plain white background. It says: β€œA fascinating exploration of how we make meaning, or seek meaning in patterns, shapes and coincidences - and how erratic the connections are between language, the natural world and unpredictable humans. Probing and playful, lingering and always refusing culmination.” The quote is attributed toΒ Peter Mackay.

The sample from "To the Moon" reads: 
Background: 
β€’ You are interested in purchasing celestial bodies. 
β€’ You are very eager to buy the Moon. 
β€’ You need purchase the Moon because you believe something bad will happen to it.

Next up is @danpower.bsky.social , whose piece "To the Moon" is an AI summary of a conversation with a virtual assistant, AskLegal bot. What delighted us about this piece is the humorous seriousness with which AI treats an outrageous premise. Read it in full at remediatelitmag.xyz/issue2!
