How Do You Do It?: AI-Generated Art and the Pedagogy of Poetry.

AI-generated art, text, and audio have emerged in the last year as potentially disruptive technologies: can students now simply plagiarize entire papers whole cloth from an internet chat tool? Is the digital art on display created by a human, or an amalgamation of digital repositories which create art in many styles in seconds? Is the audio or video clip on the screen legitimate, or a forgery produced from a provided bank of samples? Shown in this negative light, the technological advancements in AI are anathema to the traditional spirit of learning and collaboration which is key in the literature classroom. This guide attempts to invert the potentially nefarious uses of AI in education by using its inherently accessible nature to benefit students who might learn best in a visual or creative mode in the study of poetics. By experimenting with free-to-use AI art generation tools, students will come to better understand not only the function and form of poetry, but also poetic paraphrase and figurative language.
