Aum Golly: Poems on Humanity by an Artificial Intelligence

By Jukka Aalho and GPT-3 AI

What does AI know about love, happiness and making a difference?

Aum Golly is a book of poems written in 24 hours. It was made possible by GPT-3 - an advanced autoregressive language model published in 2020 by OpenAI.

"... a collection that surprises with humor and delicateness..."
- Goodreads review

"... I have to say reading it was a pleasure..."
- Finnish radio host Ruben Stiller on Yle

"... a beautiful dialogue between man and machine..."
- a review of the Finnish audiobook

The deep learning model can generate text that is virtually indistinguishable from text written by humans: poems, recipes, summaries, legal text and even pieces of code. GPT-3 is autofill on steroids.

Good poetry makes us feel something and see the world differently. Despite the gut reaction some of us may have towards AI-enhanced creativity, Aum Golly is a book like any other. You will love some of the poems. You will hate others. Some will make you wonder, but all of them will make you think.

Award-winning writer and TEDx speaker Jukka Aalho has guided the AI and chosen the poems for the collection.
