1 My
heart went suddenly dry
My brain too is blank and
dry.
I can’t express my feelings straight
Can’t find a way to
choose lines right
Just used to press the
key to throw out
Something easy and fine
not thinking about
For everything we depend
on machines and AI
We are too lazy and too busy even to try.
2 Stopped
even to think and look deep
Too much vexed with
problems, no time to sleep
With made-easy solutions
at hand to gain
Why should I
unnecessarily strain my brain?
Too long engaged in
turmoil and noise
I have no time to listen
to my inner voice
I left the golden realm
of fancy long ago
I lost my artistic, spontaneous flow.
3. My eyes are dry with burning sensation slight
They forgot to shed tears of joy and delight
They can’t behold and respond to nature’s charms
They can’t enjoy surrounding beauteous forms
Staying in the world of machines they lost insight
They can’t appreciate colorful Nature bright
Our thinking power and feeling we delegate
To machines and live in a simple, static state.
4
Have
we bartered our soul to lifeless tools?
And dance to their
routine commands and rules?
Our creative skills lost
their role
Machines rule our
minds and control
Our every act and thought
in their ruthless grip;
We live like slaves under their dictatorship.
AI is the buzzword of the modern age
Man’s work made easy at
every stage.
5 A miraculous invention to help mankind
Endowed with intelligence and superfast mind.
The nearest replica of
human brain
To discover Nature’s
secrets and help man gain
Yet not an exact
substitute for man
Man’s nature is too
abstruse to scan.
Though it is an extension
of man’s mind
It lacks human feelings liberal and kind.
6 This superintelligent device no doubt leads
Man, to get his work done at superspeed
And achieve progress and satisfy his needs
Yet it can not replace man in every field;
Too much dependence on AI poses major risks
Machines misused leads to his downfall brisk
Man’s innate skills become stunted and dry
All his job opportunities gone; his talents die.
