DM Babbit Poet Rhyme

The Thing about AI

Artificial intelligence
  created simply, because we can
  to easily, lazily, complete tasks we plan,
    and ones perhaps, we cannot do on our own.
No incentive now 
  to pursue knowledge or grow
  no need for humanity to learn or know
    how we are succumbing to boredom flow.
Now, all our bridges can be burned
  our very words to be reinterpreted and reformed 
  disconnecting any or all need
    passage of learning to our progeny.
Machinery, rote computerized mind thinking
  solvers of the cosmos blinking
  as all living entities are seized
    to impregnation of the mind's slow disease.
Already most are lost to creative goals
  incapable of educating hearts and souls
  more dependent every day of the powers that be
    making every decision for you and me.
today, yesterday, tomorrow an artificial intelligence sea
   will rewrite our history
   with little need of any input or discovery
     from you or you or me.

Jan Allison July 1, 2025 at 11:59 AM it saddens me on so many levels to see so much AI posted here on a daily basis, it is not poetry it is deliberately deceptive to pretend you wrote something when it was done at the click of a few buttons/ WRITE ON DM . whilst AI is useful especially in the field of medicine it shouldn't be taking over something we can do ourselves and that is to use our brains to write. hugs Jan xx
