... with these tools, sometimes that's with similar techniques to cut-ups, and other times it's completely different. Each poem has a note underneath to explain how it was made. The main thing is: we only publish work where human intention is the driving force, and the AI has no creative control!

I also find AI writing quite sinister, and I've started this in an attempt to try and de-humanise AI, to understand it as a tool to write with rather than as a being that can "write". We're interested in all the ways people might form their own authorship ...

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.
Issue 04 is now online!
Ten fantastic poems from ten exciting poets, each negotiating with AI tools in different ways!
Check it out today at ailiteraryreview.co.uk/issue04
A human and a humanoid AI robot, reading together from the same book

Poets who give AI creative control are giving away their own power
Poets who work *with* AI, using it as a tool and an extension of their own will, are amplifying their power
We have updated our submission guidelines!
We remain open for submissions of human-generated poetry, which works with or against AI tools in some way, until the 1st of March
