Welcome to our podcast, where we delve into groundbreaking research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and creativity. In this episode, we explore a fascinating system designed to automatically generate Finnish poetry. Tune in to hear how the system tackles essential elements like rhyme, meter, imagery, and metaphor, and why creative framing is vital to the system’s poetic intent. As we discuss the limitations of AI in grasping the subtle nuances of metaphor and semantics, we'll also explore future research aiming to better align AI-generated poetry with human perception.
