AI and the future
We are invited to spot the difference between
a real woman dancing and an AI version, no
we can't, does it matter?
The AI will forever be what it was trained to do
in this case, dancing, she will not develop, fall in
and have children
You can put her in a box for a time, start her up
she will dance and look stunning, but she will
not know how to mop a floor
This musing might sound innocent but think
what would happen if we trained AI soldiers
who followed and instructed to kill the enemy
those who bleed blood
AI "its" can replace the workforce's long hours
in routine jobs 24 hours, they don't care does
what the chip tells us to do.
They can mass produce cars no one can
afford to buy enforced idleness leads to a riot
kill the chip makers today
A sudden plague will whip out millions
the human survivors will hide in forests and plot
how to beat those who have no soul
If you think this far-fetched look at Japan
a shrinking population, their women always
look beautiful but bear no children
About a million allies and about a million foe
One foe killed an ally ’cause that’s just how battles go
And when the battle’s over, the stats are gonna show
About a million allies and about a million foe
The Brewery
It goes back a long time when I saw this closed down
the brewery, on the wall, faded letters proclaimed
Portugal`s best beer. The was an enormous gate into
the courtyard I could smell the sweating horses
and saw the iron rings on the wall where they were
tied waiting for their cart to be filled with beer crates.
There were many cats around, once they had been fat
living off the beer foam, waiting for a good time
returning. I tried the front door, massive it was but
not locked I half opened it but then felt spooked there
might some spirits resent my intrusion?
Twenty years later and the place was bustling with
life, pro, and amateurs can exhibit their work there,
It is easy to spot the difference, the amateur looks happy
with his work, the pro thinks his work is not so good
as he had planned it
When the cats realized that the beer would not flow,
they went back doing what they best do catching mice.
How does it feel? I feel so great I am at ease
To be pulled back to the sanctuaries of love
How do you feel toward the pulling lover?
I feel less than loving him, embracing him
I feel like to follow him, explain to me please
Let’s go to the love scene please skip the credits
Stand in love not fall, go in, not out, what?
You have a mental image of being lovable
Thankfully to Him, following HIM, say love
Do you know what it’s called? Really in love
Tell me, more about emotional or feeling of love
Let’s cross the river, the next commercial break
Can you spot the difference between them, could you?
Emotional feeling of love is emotion, about you
Attention, presence, satisfaction, inflammation
Sentimental love is absence, tension and exploration
Communication, wow, I never heard about this
Let’s watch the next scene, the next steamy episode
Thank you, I want to learn more, you are welcome
Really, learn to practice the languages of love
The languages of sentimental agony of love, living
This I will practice, but questions are challenging
It requires a clear mind, since I am not a sharp one
Let’s go to that next day, the next secret chamber
