“I imagine in our duty as poets, writers, thinkers and producers of audible pictures we all have questions that have yet to be answered. What is the duty of the writer? How would one describe a poem when asked? Why publish a book? What is the best platform to use for marketing? We more than likely will not agree on any of the answers provided whether by humans or Artificial Intelligence it will not matter.”
