Vaidehi urges protection of Kannada poetry from AI influence
Writer Vaidehi called for protecting Kannada poetry from AI's growing influence at a poetry festival in Mysuru, India.
She made the appeal while opening the five-day Bahurupi Kavigoshti, held as part of the Dasara festival at the University of Mysore.
Vaidehi said poetry can endure across time and traced its beginnings to a mother's lullaby.
She also argued that simple words can carry deep meaning, without the need for elaborate expressions.
The festival brings together humour, young, budding and folk poets, alongside a main poetry session.
Sessions are scheduled through October 17, with the young poets' gathering set for October 14.
Writer Vaidehi urged people to protect Kannada poetry from the growing influence of artificial intelligence.
She spoke while inaugurating the five-day Bahurupi Kavigoshti, or Poets’ Meet, in Mysuru.
Vaidehi said poetry transcends time and that simple words with deeper meaning can be more powerful than ornamental expressions.
The event was organised at the B.M. Sri Auditorium of the Kuvempu Institute of Kannada Studies as part of the Dasara festival.
Poetry sessions were scheduled through October 17, including meetings for young, budding and folk poets.
