Alienation: A Gap Between Human and AI in Ancient and Modern Arabic Poetry

The study examines the role of artificial intelligence in poetry production and compares it to human poetry, focusing on the concept of "Alienation" as a fundamental element of human poetry. The comparison between human poetry and AI-generated poetry (using ChatGPT) demonstrates that human poetry has a greater capacity for alienation and creativity, while AI lacks this ability due to its reliance on data and algorithms. By analyzing poetic examples from famous Arab poets such as Antarah Ibn Shaddad and Al-Jawahiri, the study highlights the differences between human and artificial poetry in the use of alienation. The main difference is the ability of human poets to create unique and innovative linguistic images, enhancing the aesthetics and poetry depth, while AI lacks this ability, producing poetry that lacks the aesthetics and depth that can be achieved through foreignness in human poetry. By comparing Al-Jawahiri's poem "Munajat" with the poem written by AI, the difference between foreignness in human and artificial poetry is obvious. Human poetry can be more creative and distinctive, while AI shows limitations in its ability to mimic human creativity. Overall, the study demonstrates that alienation is a fundamental element of human poetry and poses a significant challenge for AI in its attempts to mimic human creativity. The study highlights the importance of examining and reflecting on this new experience, highlighting its challenges in cultural accuracy, preserving poetic aesthetics, and the creative potential inherent in human Arab poets' poetry.
