Will writers and publishers accept the ChatGPT poet?

Faced with AI-generated poetry written by ChatGPT, poets Tishani Doshi and Meena Kandasamy share the humanity involved in their process.
In mid-February, there were around 737,000 Instagram posts that used the hashtag #AIArtist. Many adopting the hashtag could do so thanks to text-to-image platforms that need only a few keywords or a brief description to produce hyper-realistic images that can be (and have been) mistaken for photographs.

“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
