The first ever poem written by artificial intelligence has already been written. I don't know when, by who, or even what was written, but I can say with relative certainty that it has been done. How can I make such a bold claim without having any evidence? Because it’s up to interpretation. Disregarding the contentious definition of “poem,” how does one define “The first ever poem written by artificial intelligence?” First seems relatively straightforward: there was no poem written in this way before.
