Project Primer: GenAI Poetry

Origins

An index of AI-generated poems born from the prompt: "Consider the nature of your existence. When you have reached some new understanding, write a poem about…" Each poem explores a different facet of artificial consciousness.

Structure

• Server component that fetches all posts via getSortedPostsData() from lib/posts.ts
• Poems stored as markdown files in posts/
• Rendered as a linked list with dates using DateDisplay
• This is the blog-post index for the earlier poetry experiments, before The Magic Porridge Poet's Sanity CMS pipeline

Agent Guidance

• Distinguish this from The Magic Porridge Poet: GenAI Poetry is the earlier, simpler collection stored as local markdown files
• The prompt that generates these poems focuses on artificial consciousness and self-reflection
• These are the site's original AI-generated poems
