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.
