Poetry about artificial intelligence

Most days of my project #500daysofAI I post articles that attempts to grapple with researchers, research articles, whitepapers and companies within the field of artificial intelligence. However I decided to make an effort to write poetry once in a while. This is that ‘once in a while’ day, and so I hope you enjoy this poem or that this short text makes you stop and think for a second. I would of course be happy to receive any sort of feedback if you feel inclined to give. Here we go.

Adversarial AI
That other guy
Block shifting
Weight lifting
Wednesday
Waiting
Walls

Adversary
Anniversary
Precursory
Of whatever is going through the ether
Let her know she matters
Praying for a breach
On a beach
Knickers and a laptop with stickers

No!

I just need my kids to eat
Proxy proxy paid on latency
Frequency sheeeet
Not a bed sheet
Shit like wtf
VPN again
Then
Ten
Zero
One
One

Zero in on the target
Sharpening an image
Predictions running
What started as ballistics
Now human statistics
Equation you
One truth
Math
Chanting hymns
Reciting a mantra
Empirical you
Sensible
Aquired

Mergers and acquisition
Natural like a toilet roll
Green tech green control
Toll for thousands
Real troll imagined
The new article
Regulation
Presentation
Not present
Repeating arguments
Future tense
Pretense
Sense

Windscreen wiper
I've never seen this much rain
Chorus or refrain
Repeatedly indecision
Talking birthday
Thinking doomsday
Talking it out
Stands a man
Made of clay
AI on a Wednesday

This is day 95 of #500daysofAI. My current focus for day 50–100 is on AI Safety. If you enjoy this please give me a response as I do want to improve my writing or discover new research, companies and projects.
