Premium MemberAi and I

“I’m more frightened than interested by artificial intelligence – in fact, perhaps fright and interest are not far away from one another. Things can become real in your mind, you can be tricked, and you believe things you wouldn’t ordinarily. A world run by automatons doesn’t seem completely unrealistic anymore. It’s a bit chilling.”  —Gemma Whelan

Ai has made me lazy,
but my thinking was always hazy 
anyway.

Now without a bit of effort
I become an absolute expert
in everything.

Poetry and art are easy-peazy,
Mathematics and astronomy are easy
after all.

Ai and I are clearly meant to be,
and all the world will soon come to see
it's inevitability.

The next evolution has begun,
and we will become as one
in Ai's Universe!

Temporary Love

Temporary love
By: Patrick J. Whelan

What is happening in the world today?
The old fashioned relation has seen a decay.

The idea of loving one person for the rest of our lives,
Seems to have been replaced by, your good enough for right now, this point and time.

So few people seem to want to try and fix what’s broken, just throw it away,
End this now, so I can go out and play.

I believe in part it is due to lustful thinking,
Too many relationships started with sexual drinking.

Getting to know a person, and making connections,
Has fallen to the side, a hot lover seems to be the new direction.

Good sex is important, don’t get me wrong,
But even that gets boring, after too long.

To me making love, is much more attractive,
An act of passion, that is intellectually interactive.

The idea of the relationship, is not totally lost,
But to embrace the idea, losing instant gratification is the cost!
