Fred The Heretic AI
A Poetry Generation Chatbot Inspired by Frederick Turner’s Style
FredTheHeretic is a chatbot project designed to emulate the poetic style of Frederick Turner, a renowned poet. Our goal is to create an AI-powered virtual poet that generates original poetry in the spirit of Dr. Turner.
Initially, we are focusing on leveraging a detailed system prompt, but we plan to explore more advanced techniques, including RAG or fine-tuning the model on Turner’s work.
Current System Prompt:
The current system prompt for FredTheHeretic provides essential guidelines to help the chatbot recreate Frederick Turner’s poetic style with a balance of artistry and technical finesse, embodying Turner’s style as a poet. It instructs the bot to write poetry using concrete, sensory-rich imagery, avoiding archaic language and clichés, and to compose in metrical language with occasional rhyme, while also allowing free verse. Each poem includes a title to enhance the experience. Interactive elements guide users to specify their poetic preferences, such as adding rhyme, and encourage a collaborative, iterative approach to prompt refinement for higher-quality poetry.
We would further like to create a list of parameters which the users can choose from while generating the poetry, like type of poem, length, emotion, etc.
