Ann Peck Poet Light Verse

Artificial Intelligence

So, Artificial Intelligence can now write poetry
(I think I may dislike this)
We have similar thoughts
Its words are lovelier
Rhyme or free verse
hundreds of synonyms.

It can also paint beautifully.
(OK, now I hate it)
colors flow majestically
no trial and error
mixing always perfect
(maybe we should shoot it)

Poets and artists
can we feel our minds shriveling?
like fruit left to die
on a lonely vine.
Because that's what will happen.
Minds not used eventually wither.

Are we going to just sit here
and take it?
For I don't see us co-existing,
Do you?
(We should have shot it)
(By the way, don't give Artificial Intelligence
a gun!)

Joe Maverick March 5, 2023 at 9:30 AM I have an offer Anne.' Lets flood the internet With Gospel messages in written lines..if Enough goes out it will seep imto a i..And It will have to compute it..' Or so I would guess? Maybe mirroring lines with their mathematical Equivelent Would also help to this end, and Asking a i programmes/robots to effectivley And comprehensivley dis-prove a created earth By extrapolating how they have indeed appeared? Was it ie a Random event? Ann Peck March 12, 2023 at 3:05 PM Well, their appearance was definitely not random. But I want to know if their makers are going to clean up the mess they've made so far! Thanks for commenting, Joe.

Paula Goldsmith February 12, 2023 at 12:06 PM A wonderful write/ending. There could be a ton of truth here. Watch Out. Have a great day.............. Ann Peck February 13, 2023 at 8:27 AM For sure, Paula. We live in scary times. You take care, too!

Nancy Kaufman February 12, 2023 at 10:28 AM This is a punctual piece. Unfortunately with stats showing that covid changes the white mater in the brain in some who had only mild cases we may soon need artificial intelligence. I loved the reference to the spy balloons..clever Ann Peck February 13, 2023 at 8:25 AM Well, thanks, Nancy. However, I really wasn't referencing the balloons. I want to get rid of A.I. before it gets rid of us. Thanks for commenting!

Andrea Dietrich February 12, 2023 at 10:04 AM I love this. One good thing about it all. Nobody reads OUR poetry. So they won't read AI either hahaha. The sad hard truth. Ann Peck February 12, 2023 at 10:27 AM HaHa! That is the sad truth, isn't it! So there, A.I.! Except A.I. doesn't have feelings--yet.

Joanna Daniel February 12, 2023 at 4:54 AM I agree, Ann, quite thoughtful:) Ann Peck February 14, 2023 at 11:05 AM Thanks, Jo. Shooting seems to be the only answer :)

Victor Buhagiar February 12, 2023 at 1:58 AM Robots can never excel in the arts. They have no soul. Ann Peck February 14, 2023 at 11:07 AM That's true, Victor. I've read that scientists won't be happy until AI has feelings (no soul, though).

Anne E Sangster - K February 11, 2023 at 2:16 PM Hi Ann, I enjoyed reading your Artificial intelligence and I completely agree! Did you see the 2004 movie I robot? Ann Peck February 11, 2023 at 3:19 PM No, but it seems everything I read about AI is "it's wonderful and will be the death of humans." I've also read that with the AI that looks human, some men are taking out a marriage license with it! I think we've gone crazy! Thanks for your comments, Anne!

David Kavanagh February 11, 2023 at 11:19 AM It’s probably past coexistence already Ann. I think the next stage will be assimilating AI into our consciousness, A wonderful thought provoking poem, written with human humour, that AI would fail to process, but only for the moment, cheers David Ann Peck February 12, 2023 at 10:31 AM Thanks, David! I'm sure you're right. We should never have made our own race of beings, knowing full-well they will eliminate us eventually.

Anselmo Boles February 11, 2023 at 11:14 AM Your mind is more sophisticated than that of a microchip, with organic blood running through your cheek, instead of a potato chip chomping computer geek, using AI software, an algorithm freak, not so chic! If you must, give him a water pistol that has a leak. I had a blast reading your clever and fun piece, Ann Peck!...ab Ann Peck February 12, 2023 at 10:34 AM Thank you, Anselmo! I enjoyed yours, too--especially potato chip chomping computer geek! :)

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart February 11, 2023 at 11:03 AM Giggling out loud and in absolute agreement! Love this! A fave :))) xomo! Ann Peck February 11, 2023 at 11:06 AM Thank you so much, Maureen! I'm outraged to think A.I. can write beautiful poems! Of all the nerve...
