Google’s Arts & Culture app reshapes poetry with AI created poem postcards

Google has introduced a new feature of AI-generated poem postcards including an artistic backdrop and various topics.

This new addition of poem postcards in Google’s broader redesign of its Arts & Culture app is an effort to make people use their own creative skills.

Google’s poem postcards are also an extension of its generative AI features along with other services, like text creation in Docs and the ability to generate code with AI in Sheets.

Poem postcards live within Google’s Arts & Culture app and website, where a person can choose from various types of poems to generate, including a sonnet, limerick, ode, elegy, haiku, and others.

The AI will base the contents of the poem on the subject you type into the generator, like “ocean” or “spring,” as well as the painting you want on the cover of the postcard. Some of the works you can use include The Great Wave off Kanagawa, The Scream, The Starry Night, and many more.

The AI will then combine all of your choices into a poem that you can share with friends. Google says it generates the poems using its PaLM 2 large language model, which it launched earlier this year.
