AI on My Mind

are we just training artificial intelligence to destroy us?
make us humans obsolete?
i know
i know
           it sounds quite paranoid, and 
           i'm getting too old, and
           i'm part of the problem, but
could this possibly be a change for humanity
of which we simply cannot recover?
in which we will meet our demise?
        perhaps we'll get another try
        not now, some other time... yet
right now we are in a crisis
struggling to keep our lives afloat
for now we've succumbed to eternal violence
for now we've written our death note
