USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN MODERN TURKISH POETRY STUDIES (original) (raw)

2024, NEW BULGARIAN UNIVERSITY XXVIII EFSS’2024 “THE CULTURAL EXPLOSION OF AI: NAVİGATING THE INTERSECTION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, SOCIETY, AND CULTURE FROM A SEMIOTİC AND INTERDISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVE” 9-12 SEPTEMBER 2024, SOZOPOL BULGARIA

Literary critics search for literary works with basic criteria and terminology coming from literary theory and literary history. The aim of literary criticism is to identify texts of high literary value and those that are the opposite. Literary critics use criters from literary history and literary theory when determining the literary value of the text. This is of course valid of poetry anlysis. The value of poetic texts is determined; the obtained values were passed on to new generations for pedagogical purpuses. The most distinctive feature of a poetıc text is its style. Style is also the most important element that distinguishes one all peotic text from another poetic text. Modern poetry researchers, while examining their materials, have concentrated on the style of expression of the poetry, that is, its style. As a matter of fact, after the publication of Benedetto Croce's (1866-1952) work Aesthetic (1902), the question of what is expressioned in a literary work was abandoned in literary studies; Instead, the question of how the work is expressioned has come to the fore. The question "how" also emphasizes the individuality of the author in literary texts. New American Criticism, Czech Structuralism, Russian Formalism, Semiotic criticism, deconstruction, critical theory, etc. All twentieth-century literary criticism methods have tried to reveal the literary quality of works of high literary value. These efforts have achieved very concrete results in the process of examining poetry texts with clear scientific objectivity. For example, Greimas's (1917-1992) structural semiotic analyzes and Eco's (1932-2016) idea of limit of interpretation and his emphasis on encyclopedic capacity have enabled us to reach some meaningful results in terms of literary work studies. But recently, artificial intelligence applications such as chatgbt, cabilot, gemini and Claude have rapidly entered our daily lives. With these programs, the use of artificial intelligence in literary criticism has begun. Thus, literary criticism has moved or is about to move to a new dimension. If the idea that artificial intelligence is a digital structure is taken as basis, one of the main problematics is how a literary material, which has a predominant literary and aesthetic aspect, can be examined with artificial intelligence applications, which are a mechanical pattern. In this presentation, we will focus on the question of how three texts published in three different periods of Modern Turkish Poetry are evaluated by different artificial intelligence applications. Then, brief attention will be given to the literary and aesthetic value of these texts in the history of Turkish poetry. Finally, the results obtained with artificial intelligence will be compared with the results obtained from literary history and literary criticism. Thus, what kind of results a poetic text will or will not give us when examined with artificial intelligence applications will be analyzed comparatively
