Abstract

Artificial intelligence means machines that can perform tasks that require human intelligence. Today, these smart tools are useful applications that respond to human demands and needs in various fields. Artificial intelligence, especially with natural language processing, has also had significant functions in the field of human sciences. Now, will these modern tools, which have appeared in some works beyond the power of human analysis and interpretation, be able to understand and interpret the literary text as well (in this research, poetry verses)? In the present study, which is written in a descriptive-experimental way, verses from four Khorasani, Azerbaijani, Iraqi, and Indian styles were given as input data for analysis and processing to two modern and intelligent robots "ChatGPT" and "Bing" to be analyzed and depicted. The results show that artificial intelligence, despite its success in various fields, is not very successful in understanding and processing literary text. One of the reasons for its inefficiency lies in the "hermeneutic horizon" issue; this means that in the process of understanding, artificial intelligence approaches the text as a (public) audience. Obviously, in the face of a robot without data with a literary text, no specific dialogue will emerge to understand the content.
