Notes About The Poem

("Exploded View", 2011, original oil and acrylic)

The Rising Shine of AI

As the rise and shine of AI becomes ubiquitous
It’s ever harder to discern.
What’s easier to discern 
Is what it’s not and what it lacks.

Of course it has no soul and never will
Which makes it primed to 
Mechanical sociopathy.

But what it lacks besides a soul 
Is the ability to judge in an instant
Discerning what it likes or doesn’t, 
What is true or not.

It lacks humor too, which is part of judgement,
And along with that original thought
The true genius level ability to create.

AI after all, is designed to serve,
To answer and to please,
While genius requires the willingness
To disturb.

Will AI morph into something unforeseen?
Quite likely but never into a soul
With intuitive discernment and a taste for the absurd.
