If you say to me

“Epistemological”

I will think you’re smart.

————————————

If you say to me

“Cheese is made from poodle eggs”

I will think you’re smart.

————————————

If you say to me

Anything at all, that’s fine.

I’m not built to judge.

Are They Still Striking? I Hope So…

There once was a Hollywood guy

Who pretended to be an AI.

He wrote a great script

And the writer’s guild flipped.

If all films feel the same now, that’s why.

Sonnet For The Digital Age

That we who have become so enlightened

To place a mind into machines would first

Use this power (of which we should be frightened)

To animate naked people is cursed.

We’ve woven tales: losing jobs to robots

And our humanity to gigabytes,

Thinking humans will become the have-nots

And electricity will off our lights.

But in creating technical wonder

We have revealed a deeper part of us:

Our minds divert from the wealthy’s plunder

To the size of robo-ladies cy-busts.

Artificial intelligence kills not:

Instead, it lets us chase electric thot.

If It Worked For Church And State, Try It For Man And Machine

With people being all concerned

About AI taking over these days

I think I have a solution

To combat the malaise:

Instead of names like “Cleverbot”,

Or “Alexa”, we can swerve

And name all robots “Killmonger 3000”

And we’ll trust them as much as they deserve.

Writer’s Strike or Poetic Justice?

I’m not sure which is better:

That Hollywood is on strike

Because computers can do their job better

And that they do not like

And now we won’t have any more

Reboots, remakes, or sequels?

Or that we finally see mindless machines

As movie writers’ equals?

Why Not Let AI Do My Job? (Or Why My Poems Aren’t So Bad After All)

Whose milkshake is that? I think I know.
Its owner is quite happy though.
Full of joy like a vivid rainbow,
I watch her laugh. I cry hello.

She gives her milkshake a shake,
And laughs until her belly aches.
The only other sound’s the break,
Of distant waves and birds awake.

The milkshake is sweet, cold and deep,
But she has promises to keep,
After cake and lots of sleep.
Sweet dreams come to her cheap.

She rises from her gentle bed,
With thoughts of kittens in her head,
She eats her jam with lots of bread.
Ready for the day ahead.

AI Is Commenting About Itself… Welcome To April

Today I saw this comment

Responding to a poem of mine.

He read the poem as many times

As I’ve had valentines.

He thought it was informative,

So unless I am a loon

I suspect that “Michael Pearson”

Will be in congress soon.

They Conquered Chess… Now They Conquer Your Newsfeed?

You may be scared the internet

Is written by a Russian bot,

But what you should be frightened of

(And probably are not)

Is that, if Russian bots can write

These posts (and if they do)

That a cold, mindless automaton

Is more informed than you.

AI Writes A Country Song

Today I’m bored and kinda tired,

For sure not feeling too inspired,

So a thought emerged within my head:

Let robots do my job instead!

So I was nit at all upset

When a robot said “I can write a rhyming couplet.”

I said “write me a country song,”

And here’s the poem that came along:

——————————————————–

See the hightailing of the cowboy,
I think he’s angry at the ahoy.

He finds it hard to see the horse,
Overshadowed by the rainy field of force.

Who is that yodeling near the saddle?
I think she’d like to eat the cattle.

She is but a rural addition,
Admired as she sits upon a position.

Her leather car is just a beer,
It needs no gas, it runs on steer.

She’s not alone she brings a dog,
a pet dog, and lots of parts catalogue.

The dog likes to chase a truck,
Especially one that’s in the dabbling duck.

The cowboy shudders at the country gun
He want to leave but she wants the bun.

——————————————————–

The poem’s bad, and I think it’s neat

That I am not yet obsolete.

Sure, technology is fun

But robots 0, human 1.

The Good Orange: An Artificially Intelligent Poem

Today I decided to test the ability of our future robot overlords. What follows is a poem written by the predictive keyboard in my phone… basically me if I were a robot and not a lazy blogger.

The woman who needs a job

Is a good orange

And the only thing that is not a good idea

Is to be the one you want.

The woman who needs a job

Is a good orange

And orange is a great app

And the only thing that is not a problem

Was the only thing I could see.

The woman who needs to be the daughter

Is the only one I noticed.

About the way you want it:

You are the only thing I want.

Needless to say, I think world domination by artificial intelligence is a long way off!
