It's unwelcome in my words

banished from my stories, my prose,

and those are not supported or diminished by generated pictures.

I won't spit out bot-speak,

publish pre-predicted sentences from an LLM

to sell you a scam of empty heartfelt poems.

Autofilled text can't feel the urge to write words on a page,

can't see you through my eyes or a camera lens; it can't see at all.

It's only guessing,

guessing what comes next from what came next from someone else

or from its own prior output,

and I much prefer to think and speak for myself.
