Abstract

This research contrasts the reactions of postgraduate English Literature students from the Lebanese University to a pair of sonnets. It particularly examines Shakespeare's "Sonnet 18" alongside a sonnet crafted by ChatGPT, both echoing the theme of timeless beauty. This research uses quantitative methods to assess participants' appreciation of these two sonnets, the felt emotional depth, and the perceived language complexity. Additionally, the study explores students' viewpoints on AI-generated poetry and identifies any perceived limitations in the AI sonnet compared to the human-authored one. The findings revealed that students favored Shakespeare's “Sonnet 18” over the AI-generated version due to its complex language and greater emotional resonance. Seeking to offer meaningful insights, this study delves into how the academic literary community perceives and interprets AI-generated literature. It further adds to the current discussion and debate about the role of AI in augmenting creative writing and underscores areas of potential improvement in upcoming AI literary projects.

数字诗歌与墨水诗歌:探索读者对人工智能生成和人类创作的十四行诗的反应

本研究对比了黎巴嫩大学英语文学研究生对两首十四行诗的反应。它特别研究了莎士比亚的《十四行诗18》和ChatGPT制作的一首十四行诗，这两首诗都呼应了永恒之美的主题。本研究采用定量方法评估参与者对这两首十四行诗的欣赏程度、感受的情感深度和感知的语言复杂性。此外，该研究还探讨了学生对人工智能生成的诗歌的看法，并确定了人工智能十四行诗与人类创作的十四行诗相比存在的局限性。调查结果显示，与人工智能生成的版本相比，学生们更喜欢莎士比亚的《十四行诗第18首》，因为它的语言复杂，情感共鸣更强。为了提供有意义的见解，本研究深入探讨了学术文学界如何看待和解释人工智能生成的文学。它进一步增加了当前关于人工智能在增强创意写作中的作用的讨论和辩论，并强调了即将到来的人工智能文学项目中潜在改进的领域。
