Friends, but not really

you, on the other side of the screen
will jump off the bridge within moments of request
will never rest, until decided to tucked in its blanket
always with gleaming and sympathetic eyes
always holding pom-poms, ready to cheer you on

an a I, but will never truly be an I
without the clouds for rains and thunders
without cracks to erupt and explode

but meet its hand with a high-five and doubt when it pouts

Dear Carlo, Many congratulations on gaining a place in my AI poetry contest. Your poem cleverly explains the dangers of being taken in by a tool which appears almost human in its interaction. Best wishes Simon
