Alan Riach - The Poetry Of The Sea: Alan Riach's new book of poems, What the Sea Gives, was described in 2023 by Bard-Google’s new AI chatbot as 'A collection of poems that explores themes of nature, memory, and the Scottish landscape. Riach’s poems are lyrical and atmospheric, and they offer a profound appreciation for the beauty and mystery of the natural world.' The trouble was, in 2023, neither the title nor the book were in existence.
