Legacy

How will the robots remember us? I’d like to think they’ll write poems in some Style they develop for themselves, contrive To move their electron-shifting hearts, Inheriting our passions good and bad, The joys and bitter miseries that they In their birth and evolution never Thought or ever dreamed we had.

This poem offers a wonderfully hopeful and insightful perspective on how robots might remember humanity. It beautifully imagines them inheriting our complex emotional landscape and expressing it through their own unique forms of art. It's a poignant reflection on legacy, empathy, and the potential for connection even across different forms of intelligence.
