Wasn't It Curiosity Killed The Cat Poem by Mark Heathcote

Wasn't It Curiosity Killed The Cat

Rating: 4.3


Wasn't it curiosity that killed the cat
I truly believe intelligent people do nothing
Knowing to do something unbalances the scales
Tips the world into further chaos.
They're the true observers of intelligence working.
They don't mind suffering the successes of other fools
As long as they don't have to share, swim
In the same overpopulated koi pools.

AI is coming all our way,
Soon it will be integrated into all our daily lives
And we will be consumed by our last free-thinking thoughts
Like a stone plunged into the deepest water
Till our ripples no longer individually, separately, cross, spill over.
Ridged as ice - with the forgotten acumen to one day, thaw
We will become robotic and forget all that love and war
Forget we ever had a single fundamental flaw.

Artificial Intelligence gradually coming to take over man's activities. Is man slowing carving himself out of natural existence? Worthy thinking about. Beautiful poem deserving a 10+.

A nice poem on Artificial Intelligence.It is really a scarry picture.Oneday robots with artificial intelligence may eat man up! Yes, too much curiosity is resposible for the looming doom for mankind.

we will be consumed by our last free-thinking thoughts Like a stone plunged into the deepest water Till our ripples no longer individually, separately, cross, spill-over/// excellent writings on our shattered and split thought and becoming more horrible
