Using AI to write poetry
To write poetry using an LLM such as OpenAI’s GPT-4, you’ll need some understanding of both poetry and the capabilities of the language model. Here’s a general guide:
- Understand the basics of poetry: Before you make the LLM write poetry, you need a basic understanding of what makes a poem. Study different styles of poetry, from the structured nature of sonnets and haikus to free verse poetry. Understand the important elements of poetry such as rhythm, rhyme, metaphors, similes, alliteration, and, most importantly, the ability to evoke deep emotions.
- Set the right tone: In the prompt, set the tone or mood you want your poem to have. For instance, if you want an upbeat, hopeful poem, mention it in your prompt. A good language model can realign itself with the tone set in the prompt.
- Provide a structure: If you want a specific style of poetry or a certain pattern of rhyme, you need to instruct the language model accordingly...
