Living for Today

Over fourteen years ago pop culture told us
We’d only have twelve years to survive
Due to the existential threat of climate change.

Today I see a new prediction
That within two years AI will go rogue 
And humanity will be extinct within the decade.

And it reminds me again, people may be wrong,
But you never know, and yet can never go wrong,
To not worry, be happy and live for today.

Agreed. Certainly cannot understand fuss about AI...artificiality only scares those who are artificial themselves.
