Subject: Cybernetic Poet: Ray Kurzweil
Greetings,
I have found during my cyberexplorations via HyperText Kitchen..that Ray
Kurzweil has created an interactive, intelligent software suite designed
to act as a Poet's assistant. Ray Kurzweil's "Cybernetic Poet" is now
available as Free download from Kurzweil's Cyberart Technologies Inc..at
<http://www.kurzweilcyberart.com> [please visit this site, WORTH to visit]
According to Kurzweil, "With a little cyberhelp anyone can write creative
adaptations based on Elizabeth Barrett Browning's half-rhymes, William
Butler Yeat's Alliterations; just to name a few," said Kurzweil..--Just
amazing and wonderful..He has also written a Poem, on "The Age of
Intelligent Machines: A (kind of) Turing Test"
I hope, he has also discussed his Cybernetic Poetic philosophy in his
latest book.
Sincerely yours
Arun Tripathi
