So O/Scar Schwarz is an Australian-based internet acquaintance of mine, as well as a PhD candidate researching whether computers can write literature. He's presently seeking submissions of both human- and bot-authored poetry to feed the greedy maw of his forthcoming Bot-or-Not? site, which will test the ability of humans (given a random sample poem) to pick the algorithmic from the aprogrammatic. The only rules loosely laid down thus far are:
You are only allowed to do a very basic copy-edit on a generated poem after it is complete. You can change spelling, minor syntax errors, and punctuation - but you must keep your interference to a minimum; preferably to nothing! If you do do a copy-edit, please alert us to this fact in your email.
If you use pre-existing software to generate your poem, please acknowledge the source.
If you have either mind- or machine-generated poetry (or both…) you would be willing to share, please pass it along to notbotpoems@gmail.com.
