how far does a song travel
to the ends of never heard?
taking pause to reflect upon
refracting prisms that might seem absurd
revealing secrets vibrating in the air
listening and harvesting these special cheers
never mind, although impressive the seabirds visual flocking
the message being sent here are for hearing canals
the seabirds call
from a morning reverie
a sweet dream not at all
much closer than that
silence woven in between their beckoning
seabirds on a rising sun
sounds to remember what they’re bringing
when only illusions formed
in this early dayspring repose
thin, faint reverberant strings
flying through a soft breeze heightens the prose
their voices a choir of awakening
these winged creatures starting the day
slowing a racing heart when tuned in
some compelled to meditate, rejoice, pray
others wait and listen for the next sing
prehistoric imprints of stunted dinosaurs
eons of acoustic imprints
playing patterned tonal scores
resting upon gauzy clouds
how far does a song travel
to the ends never heard?

<<< to the left, original writing
beginning before ChatGPT
went public, completed (when ChatGPT AND other AI
products/applications became mainstream) however, my
finished and self-created project was without any
prompts (or accessing any AI source(s), including
ChatGPT) during Seabirds Call inception through
completion.
Although in general, I do not keep track of time spent (hours/weeks/months [some over several years] on my creations, the original version (to the left) took me immensely longer than the twenty seconds to execute my instructions to the AI version to the right and the completed prose showing.
to the right generated by ChatGPT >>> .............................................................................................................
DO I DARE ASK (of course I do), which version (left or right) is preferred by the observing/engaging audience visiting this site?
Like all available sources, tools, resources and inspiration in the minds of a creator (including anyone [i.e., all humans] when broadening out their expressions to some appended form from their efforts, pretty much applies to all works (artistic or otherwise),
It would seem reasonable to include and utilize AI as just another tool, but, this seems overly underplayed and potentially too convenient as a justification.
However, what idea, drawing, song, hand crafted objects or other human extensions of the imaginations and inventions are not already woven into the fabric of the borrowed or inspired sources and resources, purposefully, by accident or stolen long before AI hit the scene ?
Creating new results based on a vast and cumulative pool of intelligent system(s) data input with the ability to not only create but also revise, edit, repair within a self-automating system, might be where the controversy begins.
