It's one thing if mankind is hunted to extinction by ChatGPT, but I really do object to being executed by Bing.

For poetry? Not really. I might be pretentious, but I'm also an uneducated rube and these poems are just as new to me as anyone else - I wouldn't be here if not for that found poetry puzzle in PK&U2. I can offer a few helpful resources, though.

This index has a bunch of modern poets organized by decade and movement. If you click into the links, you can get a sample of each poet's representative works and find someone whose poems speak to you that way.

All the poems I've shared are famous works from the 1900s, often with some kind of historical or political significance. If you're looking for something more contemporary, this poem does a poem a day with a short write-up and often features very recent, relatively unknown poets. Note that not all of these poems are Chinese, although they will always offer a Chinese translation.

But if you're talking about Chinese media in general, I could probably pull together a Mad Honey-worthy rant on the current state of the Chinese drama industry.
