This paper emerged from a case study (Yin, 2010) of an experience experienced in a public school in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, with a class of first-year high school students, during Portuguese language classes, in March 2024. The activity proposed to the students involved the production of poems focused on the theme of women. In the 32 texts submitted by the students, the class teacher detected the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, specifically ChatGPT, in 13 of them. With this in mind, this work aims to analyze some of the poems produced by the AI, in order to point out certain regularities and occurrences in the texts, in addition to drawing a comparison with the productions actually carried out by the students. To this end, we used as a theoretical framework research on AI concepts (Santaella, 2023), the use of technologies in language teaching (Martins; Moreira, 2012), as well as studies on textual genres and textual production in schools (Schneuwly; Dolz, 2004). As a result, we point out that AI in text production, especially in the literary canon, has limitations in some aspects, such as the subjectivity of the content produced and the perpetuation of the form based only on rhymes - which excludes other possibilities of constructing the poem. We emphasize the need for teachers to be trained for these new technologies, and not just about them, aiming at a critical and reflective look at the possibilities and limitations of AI in schools and in contemporary language education. Finally, we recognize that many teachers are already working, therefore, continuing education is also a viable alternative, considering this exposed reality.
