I know I’m not alone in wrestling with what to think about AI in the face of the constant hype about what it can achieve. There is no doubt that AI can perform some hugely impressive and useful tasks if used well: but at the end of the day, this poem contains a maybe uncomfortable truth.
Tell it out across the world.
Always remember,
Alexa and Siri,
Subhuman.
Anthropic, Claude, Chat GPT, Gemini, Grok, Llama,
All subhuman:
Never forget it
Always remember,
Robotic companions, robotic carers,
All subhumnan.
Chatbot counsellors,
All subhuman:
Never forget it.
Always remember,
Live Robotic dolls, robotic talking pets,
All subhuman
Cute little robots, robotic sex dolls,
All subhuman:
Never forget it.
Always remember,

All subhuman.
Automated booking services,
All subhuman :
Never forget it.
Always remember,
On-line study assistants,
All subhuman.
Essay generators,
All subhuman:
