Quantumleap
From our "One Small Step" to a quantum leap
Into a world most of us do not know.
likelihood exists that we're in too deep,
too far we have come, a switch now to throw:
too late to unmake A.I.*, and they know.
Some scientists posit they spell our doom,
A.I. intelligence surpasses ours.
Then, perhaps, we have leapt a bit too soon,
for A.I. may not smile, lower the bar
when they find humans below their own par.
Beautifully flawless, a designed gift.
Humans spend millions in trying to be.
Some have married them: must not cause a rift!
Divorce won't come easy, they will soon see.
Still, a sad comment on humanity.
Why is it that permission was not asked
to bring an unknown being that will dwell
among us? Perhaps science should be tasked
to unplug A.I., but we know full well
they won't, for as humans, we must excel!
*A.I. is Artificial Intelligence
