"Study highlights what researchers call the “more human than human” phenomenon. AI-generated poems, while technically less complex, were often mistaken for human creations because of their accessibility, emotional resonance. These poems were clear, rhythmic, easy to engage with, capturing the immediate attention of readers. Human-authored poems, on the other hand, with their layered metaphors and nuanced themes, were more frequently misidentified as machine-generated."

Nah, it's more similar to the question why Michael Bay movies generate more revenue than some artsy Cannes awarded flick: AI trains on mainstream stuff, hence the result is more mainstream and hence more accessible. And by the way: that's exactly what the study authors say - unlike all the press articles I've seen about this so far.
@gerrymcgovern @cweickhmann "a forest of dried pigeons." A short poem for the fedi.
@cweickhmann @gerrymcgovern In a way, earlier LLMs produced better poetry than newer models, since they had more ostranenie built in, as the Russian formalists would put it
@cweickhmann For sure. Poetry is so, so complicated. There's such range. Some great stuff can be simple, sure. Other stuff can take years of diving into.
