Personal poetry therapy for depression by the chatbot and image creator
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In this article, the author presents a satisfying learning experience he had with an Artificial Intelligence image generator and chatbot. He explains how he, after suffering from depression, used the Bing Image Creator to create an image of a woodworker in the style of Van Gogh. He then wrote an ekphrastic poem according to the image. This poem was submitted to ChatGPT for language editing, which resulted in a second version of the poem. The Bing Image Creator was used again to create an image connected to the second verse of this poem. The author points to the beneficial therapeutic effect of his engagement with Artificial Intelligence and argues that the second version of the poems might also be regarded as his creation.
