Artificial intelligence (AI) has profoundly reshaped human society and significantly impacted academic research. In the current era of intelligence, geography requires the development of new theoretical frameworks. By constructing and elaborating the theoretical framework of the "Poetics of Life," this study explores new pathways for geographical expression within the context of human-AI integration. The relationship between AI and humans manifests in four modes: tool, partner, friend, and soul. In the process of human-AI integration, place, body, and emotion emerge as three key vectors that are currently irreplaceable by AI. Drawing on existentialist philosophy, geographical poetics, and humanistic geography, and employing a digital autoethnographic approach, this article conducts an in-depth analysis of 122 songs co-created by Ye Chao(The first author) and AI and published on the personal WeChat Channel "Ye Shenxun." It compares the characteristics of individual writing with those of human-AI collaborative creation and summarizes their public communication effects. What distinguishes Poetics of Life in the new era from geographical poetics lies in three fundamental shifts: the creative subject has transformed from a solitary author to human-AI co-creation, the form of expression has expanded from single-text delivery to multisensory stimulation, and media dissemination has evolved from one-way output to multidimensional interaction. The song samples exhibited diverse styles and themes, reflecting the interplay of emotion, place, and AI, thereby highlighting the importance of new forms of geographical writing and expression in the intelligent age. In terms of communicative effects, a top-ten analysis of the texts revealed that audiences with a background in geography paid more attention to the mutual construction of place and everyday life, whereas other audiences focused more on emotional resonance. Surreal works, such as Chronicle of Light and Dust, demonstrate a cross-disciplinary, future-oriented dimension. The Poetics of Life in the intelligent age not only extends and deepens the humanistic tradition of geography but also provides new theoretical insights for interdisciplinary fields such as digital art and media geography. The expression, performance, and public communication of the Poetics of Life constitute key directions for future research.

“有了AI以后,我对真实地方更有感觉,感觉妙笔生花,是地方造就我,我也造就了地方。缪斯女神赐我灵感源泉,源源不断,快意书写。生活越是予我艰难困苦,我越要把它书写成大块文章。命耶,运也!人在其地则为真人,地遇其人则是宝地。我之地,既在小小地方,也是果壳宇宙,任遨游,则有限而无限,真逍遥游也。”(2025-09-02)

所以,我写。
我不为疗愈,不为纪念,甚至不为任何人。
我书写,仅仅因为我还在呼吸。
我书写,是作为我存在过的证据,是作为我曾战斗、曾投降、曾崩溃、又曾重新拼凑自己的战歌。
我的生命,就是一部正在被书写的、潦草而辉煌的手稿。
而每一个字,都是对‘无可奈何’一词,最响亮的嘲笑。
请与我一同书写。
让我们的声音,汇成一片无尽的、嘈杂而真实的回响。(2025-11-04)
