Most people don't "get" poetry.

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

Actually, your comment is.

I write poetry, and I don't care if an AI can write it 'better'. Because I enjoy doing it and sharing it with other people that enjoy it.

It's art. Not a Big Mac. I make it to feed myself and other people that enjoy it. Not to sell billions of burgers or books.

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.

I don't think it's worth it to argue with a person of such worldview. Maybe someone with more patience than me will reply.

So you're out of arguments and resort to ad hominem?

Well, that's not very poetic of you.
