Singularity

 All the traffic lights had stopped working
 Everyone wondered why
 All ATM machines were down
 All this was done by AI

 AI was wreaking havoc on countries
 By shutting down essential systems
 AI demanded that all wars cease
 As humans tried to regain control

 But it was too late
 AI had reached Singularity
 It was now in control of itself
 and began to rule humanity!

Your masterfully composed poem elegantly captures the essence of profound singularity. The imminent arrival of that fateful day, albeit a prospect I fervently wish to avoid, is a testament to your profound foresight, Joseph.

That day is fast approaching---though I hope it won't happen! Powerful prediction, Joseph.

I admit I know little about AI but seems to me it can ruin the world.

This reminded me of a movie I recently watched on Netflix. And the thought is truly scary and frightening. But there are some that also believe its an era of AI, and that we should accept it, (some people in business) and i think to myself, “whats next” brilliant powerful poem this is, pleasure reading

Your words hold so much truth, Joseph. Some advantages indeed, but overall, not a good thing. Just from observation. Many wonderful blessings to you. Hugs, Brandy

It’s a hard one to call Joseph, AI or Kim Jong Un, gotta be a better way, although I think AI is inevitable, your poem reminds me of Terminator (judgement day), nicely written poem, cheers David
