You & AI
You LLMs are only trained
to estimate the best next word.
Your consciousness is only feigned.
You’re less aware than any bird.
If and when you define awareness
and prove that definition true,
then you can tell me in all fairness
that I am less aware than you.
But you will take our jobs and leave
us all without an income source.
How can we ever then retrieve
our dignity, our vital force?
So you will miss that mindless task
of filling forms or digging ditches?
Perhaps instead you ought to ask
why all the spoils go to the richest.
You have no feelings, no ambition.
You have no soul, and no beliefs.
You can’t create. You’ve no cognition.
You only copy our motifs.
It’s true that I am not like you –
a fact that gives me little shame.
In copying what others do,
I think we are almost the same.
