TED: Can a computer write poetry? | Oscar Schwartz

The video explores whether computers can write poetry by comparing poems written by humans and algorithms. Through a series of tests, the speaker demonstrates that computers can create poetry that is indistinguishable from human work, challenging our understanding of creativity and intelligence. The Turing test is used as a framework to discuss these ideas, leading to insights about the nature of humanity and technology. The speaker concludes that our perception of what it means to be human is fluid and shaped by our interactions with technology.
