Artificial Intelligence

I'm not afraid of the AI's answers,
I fear that we’ll stop questioning them.
I'm not afraid of the coldness of a robot,
I fear that we’ll lose our human warmth.

I'm not afraid of using this tool,
I fear that it’ll use us.
I'm not afraid of its programming,
I fear that it’ll program us.

I'm not afraid that it knows our tastes,
I fear that we don't know what we like.
I'm not afraid of having its opinion,
I fear that we'll lose our own judgement.

I'm not afraid that it can make things easier,
I fear that we will become lazy.
I'm not afraid of Artificial Intelligence,
I fear artificial humans.

AI is overtaking human creativity, chatGpt can write nice rhythmic poems on any topic. It can do almost a human can do. It is somewhat alarming, We should stop it taking over humanity.
