        <p>I find Gabriel's poetry rather deficient (not that I am an
          expert, so perhaps it is mere taste) and Inkwell's even
          moreso, though in response to this thread I read a number from
          his collection "100 Poems Imitating 100 Translations" which
          are described as "responses" to 100 classic Japanese poems
          which is a tradition in poetry (to write poem in response or
          homage to another poem) and found them quite pleasing and
          insightful.  It felt that his poems were *inspired* by the
          originals, though without the originals at-hand I'm not sure
          how much he was inspired and how much was in fact "imitation"
          as advertised.   If it was the latter then I suppose I'm much
          more impressed with what the original did than what Gabriel
          did by "imitating" the originals without breaking them.<o:p></o:p></p>
        <p>I am not sure that automatic * generation tools can do
          anything *but* imitate and emulate, by their very
          construction?  Gabriel's title invoking "imitating" suggests
          to me that his Inkwell (at least) aspires to do no more than
          imitate.  It is a fun parlor trick to create an imitation that
          "can pass" in polite company.  The "creative process" is
          subjectively something different from imitation or
          emulation.   It is an entirely different thing to have a
          uniquely awesome experience and to express it in a mode that
          evokes something similar in another.<o:p></o:p></p>
        <p>Glen harps at us from time to time that "communication is an
          illusion" (which he will likely demonstrate by correcting my
          understanding of whatever he actually has said on the
          topic).   To the extent this assertion is true, then I am more
          sympathetic with the idea of deep-fakes, etc.   Maybe the only
          difference between an imitation and an inspiration has to do
          with the level of abstraction of the language being used. 
          Perhaps a poetry generator that actually generates strings of
          complex abstractions which perhaps also is constrained by
          poetic form, rhyme, alliteration, etc. IS doing the same thing
          as a poet? 
          <o:p></o:p></p>
        <p>I ingest natural language generators more like an Oracle than
          a source of information much less wisdom or insight.<o:p></o:p></p>
