Those flying solo and larger groups are also welcome!Guided by renowned local Dr. Darius Jackson, a member of FourPoets OneMic, and MCC AI and IT Security expert Bonnie Johnson (AAISM), the evening begins with famously awkward love poems fed into Artifical Intelligence (AI). Watch as they’re resampled and delivered back with surprising bravado. From there, we turn to genuinely great love poems, exploring what makes them work—and what happens when an algorithm tries to predict beauty, tenderness, or spark.Along the way, we’ll discuss the science behind AI, including:· How does an algorithm generate novelty?· What’s the difference between originality and probability-driven surprise?· Why can a machine sound so confident about feelings it doesn’t have?With romantic drinks and hors d’oeuvres in hand, attendees will use AI’s fearless first drafts as a springboard to create their own love poems. No pressure or required sharing. The AI goes first and you decide what to keep, revise, or laugh away.Everyone will leave with a printed keepsake of their poetry, a tangible reminder of an evening spent experimenting with language, intimacy, and a bit of borrowed digital courage. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/crystal-lake/roses-are-red-violets-are-probable-the-science-of-ai-and-passion-of-poets/100001981860027693 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 26, max: 26, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Crystal Lake - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: McHenry County College - **lat**: 42.259807 - **long**: -88.368246 - **full address**: McHenry County College, 8900 Northwest Highway, Crystal Lake, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Roses Are Red, Violets Are Probable: The Science of AI & Passion of Poets - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/14632a51c9d534dd3c38f9b9e6b19a6545414a21082030a240f79c28a2383caa-rimg-w1200-h600-dcdfd4c2-gmir.jpg?v=1769636294 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Roses Are Red, Violets Are Probable: The Science of AI & Passion of Poets being held? - **A:** Roses Are Red, Violets Are Probable: The Science of AI & Passion of Poets takes place on Fri, 13 Feb, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Fri, 13 Feb, 2026 at 08:30 pm at McHenry County College, 8900 Northwest Highway, Crystal Lake, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Roses Are Red, Violets Are Probable: The Science of AI & Passion of Poets? - **A:** Tickets for Roses Are Red, Violets Are Probable: The Science of AI & Passion of Poets are priced at USD 26 per person.
