The hardest part with usefulness and generative art is having the computer define its own universe of usefulness, evolving it from a machine that spawns random stuff to a creative process that knows what it’s doing… it’s basically the same with humans. In that sense, we may or may not like Flowerewolf’s poems, but at least Flowerewolf itself likes what it’s doing (and doing what it likes).

Usefulness is a strange notion. Who defines it, and for whom? One man’s rubbish is another man’s art, as they say…

It’s a hoax because it was made by a computer, most people think the website is a collective of people. I agree it might be useless because it serves no real goal (other than illustrating how AI can make a computer creative), but then neither does any other poem…

According to this page Oekandana is "an auto-generated hoax".
