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!

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
Lineup for Issue 04: James Nixon, Rachael Brooks, Ginny Darke, Oria Hearn, Alex Mazey, Michael Sutton, Julie Laing, R. Z. Hayes, CipherMyst, Gabriela Michele. 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.

Screenshot of a website page. Title: about the AI Literary Review. Main text: The AI Literary Review is a journal of new poetry, exploring what happens when organic imagination meets artificial generation. The review publishes quarterly issues of 10 poems, each a collaboration between a human poet and their AI muse. The aim of this journal is to find ways of using AI creatively and constructively to produce original, distinctive and exciting poems, and as such we prioritise work which develops unique and playful methods of equipping AI tools. There is a fear among many writers that AI could one day replace human authors, as it is already replacing workers in a number of professions. This journal takes that possibility seriously, and believes that AI is not going away any time soon. Therefore it believes that, as writers and readers in this present moment, we have a responsibility to find ways of using AI to our advantage, to make the algorithms work with us, rather than against us. If AI art is shallow we must lend it some depth. If AI art is soulless, we must give it a soul. This journal believes that through direct engagement and experimentation with the AI and its outputs we can revive its zombified text, and rewild our language before it succumbs to total automation. - Dan Power, EIC, 2024
