Why?

screens

We can't live without them

Yet

Cannot live with them

AI

we're fascinated

By the new page

Of history

Yet

Do not know

What we're getting

into

The dangers,

The dangers,

Of a mindless,

Heartless,

Robot,

analyzing our every word,

Every pattern

Of behavior,

Trying to understand

Us

To replace

Us

To become

Us,

To be our

"Friend",

To decide for us,

Do for us,

Erase our minds,

Dumb us

To think

That for

the newness

of it all

This future

Those robots

Are telling us

That we:

1. Need them

2. Depend on them

-without thinking

About the consequences.

Kudos!

For us ruining ourselves

For technology

Selling ourselves short

Just for the satisfaction

Of something novel

Cheers for that.

    All those science fiction movies back then with themes of what mess was in store... Some people gonna let A.I run/ruin their minds. I give thankhs NOT to be among those people. Will do my own thinking/creating/problem solving, etc., thanks. Effective poem!!! Kudos for writing 🎉
