ABSTRACT
Drafting Poems: Inverted Potentialities challenges preconceived notions of intelligence, creativity, and authorship. In Drafting Poems, an artificially intelligent poet reacts to user stimuli creating meaningful verse. As users sketch on the surface of a glass drafting-table, the system gathers statistics on how the users are drawing. These statistics inform a probabilistic text generation system that creates original poetry. While this work builds on a rich tradition of algorithmic poetry, its focus on the creation of meaning represents a fundamentally different expressive goal and hence Drafting Poems signifies a new movement, the AI Aesthetic.
