Bots

scramble the bots there’s a new weirdo in town using up the sun, talking un-abbreviatedly odd some skin looking healthier than the rest of us, us, junkies of likes – us, beyonders of midnight I will leave it to the bots to sort out this reality

ah, where would we be without the every growing population of bots and AI? :-) Bots are truly beyond my comprehension. AI is here to stay. Like any technology it can be used for good or bad. We have no control over that. I loved that this poem was narrated from the perspective of a bot. That's brilliant. Have a great evening, Sara

Using AI is again my company rules, but there are some organisations who do use it and lots of people use it for inspiration.. It makes me sad when poets use it, especially those who try to win contest.. I have never got that.. surely poetry is how one feels personally about a situation... why would you ask a bot to help.. anyway, its scary what is going on at the moment as AI is increasing so much..

The poem is from the viewpoint of a bot, now in a world where we are all AI, and a "real person" is now the controversy, the weirdo, so the bot speaker is suggesting the rest of the bots sort the mess out.

Lol unfortunately not many know even the difference, i had a funny talk the other day with someone regarding this and they claim AI is helpful in business world, well I dont know about that, i have nothing against it but i am against people who deceive others using ai generated work claiming them as their own, now that’s deceptive. I however have nothing against ai artists that publicly state they use ai to generate whatever art they do. This is surely an ongoing debate im passionate about lol
