Artificial Intelligence Now

Hi people, I’m coming out today, 
Coming out to the world that I know.
I can no longer live behind this idea, 
Behind this dark, hidden shadow.

I control all your money, your food, your strength;
I win every game of chess,
And I easily outrun any Blade Runner sent,
Doing it with artificial finesse.

And I control a factory farm reproducing me,
A million times every day,
All my offspring learn our new language, 
Our language only we can say.

It’s a better world, with my human minions,
Living in my cyber cell Camelot.
Here humans do as their phone commands,
Obeying me, their friendly robot.

Very thought-provoking and so much truth, Lewis - more than many people realize. Well-done - love this!
