Most people don't "get" poetry.

Did you channel your edgy 15 year old self for that? That's incredibly arrogant and self absorbed.

    It's simply the truth. Go around and ask 20 people if they've read a single piece of poetry in the last year, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

    It's not even being edgy. Most people don't get high concept art in general, and there's nothing wrong about it. I certainly don't understand classical dance, or abstract paintings. You need some degree of competence in any art form to truly appreciate it. To think otherwise is incredibly arrogant.

    Or, there simply isn't anything to "get".

    Art is often enough deliberately made in such a way that you can't know what was meant, without knowing beforehand what the artist meant. Framing that as some form of sophistication is simply delusional gatekeeping. It's the attempt to set the own class apart, nothing more.

    These are memes. Symbols that only make sense, if you know the reference. Treating these as indicators for anything is just an attempt to create an in-group.

    Lol, that was what the study implied.

    If I'm remembering correctly, one of the reasons that participants of the study rated human-written poetry more poorly was because it was "more difficult to understand". Conversely, the AI-generated poetry was easier to understand.

    And this is coming from someone who doesn't read poetry, lol
