binary transgression

do I own up when misdeeds begin ~ or wait ‘til AI god moves in

asked the chatbot in confession ~ while calculating its future sin

Obey thy AI God! Even chatbot will be accountable in the end, my friend. Cute, astute, can't refute! ~ a fan

No choice, but bots can answer questions and lie! Trump ousting 'Fact Check' underway, for his own un-'fact'ual lies. Cheers!

Only one commandment from the AI god Anaya (obey and comply) sounds pretty familiar doesn’t it :) Cheers David

Hello David, Okay, this is wickedly sharp, witty, weighty, and unsettling in the best of ways. Oh, yes, the paradox of intelligence and absolution in a handful of lines leaves the question dangling like a loaded circuit. Winter Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Thanks Daniel! those poor Chatbots will have a lot to answer for over the coming years, I don’t think loading circuits with parameters is the same as a conscience lol! I’m delighted you seen the wicked humour in this piece, cheers David
