Abstract: Recent advancements in natural language generation have inspired the use of language models as creative writing tools. AfriKI (Afrikaanse Kunsmatige Intelligensie) is the first to generate creative text in Afrikaans. The model is used as an authoring tool to explore co-creative (human + machine) poetry generation, resulting in short compelling stanzas. Beyond Afrikaans, collaborative writing systems are slowly gaining ground. But how should the literary community respond? How might Creative AI benefit from literary perspectives? Should AI-generated text be judged by a different set of criteria – or disregarded entirely?
