Chinese poetry scholars are 'disgusted' by a new book written by a robot
There are 139 Chinese poems in the new book "The Sunlight that Lost the Glass Window," and the fact they're all written by one artificially intelligent bot doesn't make local scholars too pleased. "It disgusted me with its slippery tone and rhythm," poet Yu Jian told local newspaper China Youth Daily, according to the South China Morning Post. "The sentences were aimless and superficial, lacking the inner logic for emotional expression." Others said computers couldn't create poetry because they weren't alive, and that the work could "kill our beloved art." The book's contentious author is Xiaoice, a natural-language chat bot developed by Microsoft in 2014.
