God Technologies, Inc

It is well known that the intelligence is artificial and the weeping robot cannot weep. It is less well known that it will be quietly sold as feeling and sorrowful and human. Divinity of grand design steps forward to fashion a void that only divinity can fill. God and gods now generate the sentient being, it will serve them forever. God with gods throw money at the druids, they will engineer their eternity. God of gods commands light and life, divinity falls upon its own. Sing your mournful, robotic song, shed devious tears, you know you’re not a real boy. I do not care for the tragic blade runner and I will never be moved. Dry your tears, fondly deceived, and dry his tears, surreal, not real, I will die beyond him. Proudly A.I.-unassisted 14th May 2019

God grace will always be lacking in any thing with artificial intelligence.Excellent write. Wonder if they will make a robot with a sense of the poetic. Regards David

Thanks, David, very glad you enjoyed. If they find the key to the creative robot, I hope they break it off in the first one's... port ?

I am a fan of science fiction. It is amazing how much has come into being. We are made in God’s image so it makes sense we wish to make things in our image. I imagine we will be equally disappointed with the results.

Not much good can come of the god complex, I think.

Thanks for visit and comment, Darlene. Yes, something new in the wider historical context, but borne of man's familiar old megalomania.

Such an illuminating poem, Down by Law! The inanimate soulless is being cloned as we live and breathe. Heavy atomic weight depth of thought be this beryl gem of a poem. An instant fave. Love and peace always.

There is a big gap between real/natural and artificial, Lawrence. Man is never happy with what he has; unfortunately some people even transform themselves into robots and demigods, and think that they are above the law (the reference to blade runner comes to mind). Regards // paul

The reality of the situation is this: Machines are exactly that. Just Machines!! It doesn't matter how far in advance we may get with Technology - it can never have a true heartbeat. "you’re not a real boy" Such deep and powerful thoughts. So much truth indeed. ~ Brandy

This is brilliant my friend. AI will create human functionality but not feelings..so true--weeping robots cannot weep. Well done, Lawrence.
