This article takes "Sunlight Loses Its Glass Window", created by the artificial intelligence Xiaoice, as the research object and explores the application and challenges of AI in the field of artistic creation. Firstly, the creative mechanism of Xiaoice was introduced, including visual computing, image analysis, and imitating the creative process of modern poets. Then, the impact of semi-interventional AI on art production was analyzed, pointing out the concealment and alienation of human labor in Xiaoice's creative process, and discussing how the hyper-replicability of AI affects artworks, artists, and the definition of art. By comparing the word frequency and word clusters of "Sunlight Lost Its Glass Window" and "Selected Poems of Dai Wangshu", it is revealed that Xiaoice's poetry creation shows a high degree of word repetition and a preference for abstract concepts. This difference reveals that although artificial intelligence has achieved certain accomplishments in imitating the forms and styles of modern poetry, it is difficult to replicate human poets' control over the meanings and emotions of words. AI creation relies on picture recognition and the combination of lexical patterns, lacking intuitive contact and emotional experience. This results in the creation of content being a mere accumulation of images, making it difficult for the content to resonate.
