If Words Were Enough
As AI systems learn from us, they also erase parts of us. Language isn’t just information—it’s memory, emotion, context, and care. This is a poetic memory generator that invites people to build a limerick together with AI. Each poem is a miniature policy in disguise. Sometimes you have magic. Sometimes the poem doesn’t work. AI stutters when it hears what it hasn’t been trained to listen for. The final suggestions gesture at what the future needs to preserve.Winner of the Creativity Prize for Global Dialogues Challenge
