"Alas, Poor AI, You Were a Worthy Mimic in the Company of True Bards" (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798862896954)

This book, and its exploration of AI's creative limitations, is the product of my back-and-forth use of Chat GPT-4 over the course of several weeks. As a result, there is a degree of overlap evident in the Chat Sessions and the presentation of related content in and across several major sections of the book's content.

These areas of overlap could have been removed by blending all the content into one seamless screed, but doing so is not worth the effort.

In fact, there is this additional rationale for leaving the material as it is presented herein. Ideas are pursued throughout that are not repetitive. And to the extent that they are, the exploration of them by me over the weeks goes in different directions and therefore the ideas discussed are approached from various perspectives.

This approach, while not intentional, enriches the output of the AI tool. It also offers the reader my varied approach to the subject matter at hand. This occurred because, after reflecting on the content of each previous session, I was able to approach the following session from a different perspective.

This protracted, possibly even haphazard? method of writing the book by periodic use of Chat GPT-4 ultimately offers a more nuanced reflective understanding of the basic ideas being explored in the book: what machinery lies behind AI's ability to be "creative" and what its strengths and weaknesses are when compared to human creative processes.

To the extent that the reader finds this approach and the organization of the material herein to be repetitive, I offer you not my sincerest apologies whatsoever.

Rather, I merely offer this: "Alas, Poor Reader."
