Next up on our #ReadingList— two #poetry chapbooks made with the assistance of #ChatGPT by @danpower.bsky.social! "Memory Foam" + "Snail Generations" take different approaches to the interaction between #AIGenerated text + the poet; that comparison between text + topic we think is so generative ;)

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!

We, they, and Ensemble park will be joining on a panel at the Electronic Literature Conference in July to talk about the concepts behind our journals, and we recommend both reading and submitting to issues!

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.

Here's what Scotland's Makar had to say about our latest release!

'What I Love About A Cloud Is Its Unpredictability' by Iona Lee is available to order from our website:

trickhousepress.com/product/-what-i-love-about-a-cloud-is-its-unpredictability-by-iona-lee/20

A quote, black text on a plain white background. It says: “A fascinating exploration of how we make meaning, or seek meaning in patterns, shapes and coincidences - and how erratic the connections are between language, the natural world and unpredictable humans. Probing and playful, lingering and always refusing culmination.” The quote is attributed to Peter Mackay.

Cover image for the book, What I Love About A Cloud Is Its Unpredictability', by Iona Lee. The cover shows a swirling black and white cloud, circled in white in the centre of the page.

Next up is @danpower.bsky.social , whose piece "To the Moon" is an AI summary of a conversation with a virtual assistant, AskLegal bot. What delighted us about this piece is the humorous seriousness with which AI treats an outrageous premise. Read it in full at remediatelitmag.xyz/issue2!

The sample from "To the Moon" reads:
Background:
• You are interested in purchasing celestial bodies.
• You are very eager to buy the Moon.
• You need purchase the Moon because you believe something bad will happen to it.
