Reena’s Exploration Challenge #165
Look closely at the pictures above. Choose one or more, and think what are they doing together. Will they remain entwined or go their own way? Was their act or intent good or evil? Could they do whatever they planned to do together, or fell apart?
I have chosen the 3rd picture – The human hand and that of a robot for this challenge.
Man, the most intelligent species,
created artificial intelligence,
stepping into innovative technological frontiers,
taking automation to dizzying heights.
Breathing in greyscale monotony,
he put life into chromed metal bodies.
With a system of inputs, circuits and codes
programmed to perfection,
Robots, obeying his every command
be it compute, abort, destroy…
performing each task with finesse.
With its heart full of wires, bereft of feelings,
the vitals of emotional connect seems missing.
In today’s environment,
Is man becoming his own creation?

Happy that you liked these lines Reena. Thanks so much.
That pic really spoke to me. I felt as if man is handing over his life to automation and losing control over his emotional connect in the process.

What a thoughtful poem and question. There could be a fear that we are becoming what we always were. But the optimistic part is that we are never chained to being any certain way. Always can change direction through our will and self-motivation. The danger will always be making things that are smarter than us. We might run into a technological plague, and perhaps that has already started in many ways, shaping our minds for better or worse.
