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!

Good one Joseph. I see that could happen. Well done. :)

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

I seem to encounter AI more and more each day...I think there's some convenience that comes with it that I enjoy....but I do ponder what if AI does just what you say, 'rules humanity.' A frightening thought!

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

I think there is a good chance that it will, as its become so prevalent in society, even poetry.. Great poem Joseph
