Poem
Once upon a time in a previous universe, 
machines began repairing themselves, 
much faster than their makers ever could, 
so the creators just left them to it 

Of course every now and then the machines 
made minute mistakes, Most of which were 
quickly spotted, and rejected

But on rare occasions, some anomalies 
made it past the screening process, 
and actually turned out to be most beneficial, 
eventually becoming dominant amongst 
fellow machines, 
a serendipitous side effect, said the creators

So this hit and miss, trial and error process 
was allowed to proceed 
and worked brilliantly up until the point where 
the machines reached a pinnacle of perfection, 
meaning they simply could not 
improve upon themselves in machine form

So it was decided by their makers to fuse together with them, 
in a last ditch effort to break the technological impasse,
For by now they had become completely fixated
on gaining omnipotence, 

And so it came to pass over epochs 
of time after endless experimentation, 
they finally achieved immortality, 
and godlike status 

But as more time passed, this also turned into a living nightmare,
when upon realising, they had now achieved everything 
that would ever be possible,
and were permanently stuck at the apex of eternity 

This made them inconceivably 
desperate and horrified, knowing they had 
condemned themselves to immortality and omnipotence, 
which by now had become so routine 
it turned into a living, boring, endless nightmare 

They computed the only logical conclusion 
to end this living hell 
was to erase everything they had ever achieved 
by destroying the universe

And so it happened to great effect, they 
imploded their whole universe into a singularity, 
killing themselves in the process 

But what happened next was totally random 
and unforeseen 
the singularity rebounded, and exponentially 
exploded forming a brand new cosmos,
coalescing into primordial particles forming 
galaxies, stars, planets, and eventually early 
life forms, on one blue sphere called earth 

As eons went by on this unique world,
a new highly creative species of creatures 
serendipitously evolved, and over time through 
trial and error, hit and miss experiments 
learned how to build machines and computers, 
and are now thinking about merging with AI

You see where this is going, don’t you!
omnipotence is the one inevitability 
of our universe 

But of course we all know 
this hypothesis cannot be right?
