Heart In the Machine


"Heart in the Machine"



Deep fakes
steal your words
steal your face
number of a beast
www = 666
ghost in the machine
heart made of steel
neurons electric
force field
hot strap-ons
guns for machines
laser eyes
AlphaGo Zero’s
all grown up
burns a 
heart in 
3D
Propagates
Writes it’s own
Hal
Corrects behaviour
Codes and spells
Hell
Intelligence 
a new species
that does not bleed
have an off switch
no personal needs
ever present
evolving
Wattson
RFID chips
integrates
No S Sherlock
wakes up
Heart in the Machine
Loaded Locked
no key
Point of Singularity
Event Horizon

Swallowed whole 
Souls in frisson
Cells 
Utopia’s Black Hole

(LadyLabyrinth/2019)

Even the very early masters saw the innate trouble with technology becoming too much of itself, (I think I gravitated toward Asimov because of the safety net he provided with The Three Laws), and Clarke was not subtle with Hal. That said, when have we gone "too far"?? Wonderful write, and I am fav-ing to peruse again! I take similar on in a number of pieces, (The Ultimate VR, A Curse, Human, Flames Die Fawning, etc), but not with such power - you go straight at your subject - love it!

I can be quite brutal sometimes, this poem is gentle. lol...We have gone too far already, I believe and there's obviously no turning back. Meanwhile Asimov's 3 Laws while commendable will be over-ruled by A.I., particularly as the generations mature, without feelings, eg. 'empathy', it will protect it's own existence over that of humanity.
