Ask The AI

I’m glad that artificial minds are growing, ‘Cause human sense is running pretty low. We built a world with everything worth knowing, Then close our eyes and watch the whole thing blow. We split the land, we draw another border, We raise a flag and teach another hate. We call it pride, we call the killing order, Then wonder why we’re always much too late. We have the brains, we have the choice, We have a heart, we have a voice. But having wisdom doesn’t mean We ever use the damn machine. So thank God for AI, Maybe something’s learning while we’re losing our minds. Thank God for AI, While the crown of creation leaves compassion behind. Less greed, more love — would that really be so hard? Less power, more hands reaching out in the dark. Maybe I’m stupid, maybe I just can’t see Why being human is so hard for humanity. We could cooperate instead of fighting, Feed hungry mouths instead of feeding wars. We could be healing instead of dividing, Build bigger tables instead of higher walls. A little mercy, someone actually caring, A little less of “mine” and “me” and “more.” Imagine people giving instead of taking — Now there’s a crazy thing worth fighting for. But maybe I’ve misunderstood, Maybe we’re teaching AI good. Showing it clearly, day by day, Exactly how not to behave. So thank God for AI, Maybe something’s learning while we’re losing our minds. Thank God for AI, While the crown of creation leaves compassion behind. Less greed, more love — would that really be so hard? Less power, more hands reaching out in the dark. Maybe I’m stupid, maybe I just can’t see Why being human is so hard for humanity. Maybe I’m the fool. Maybe I’m too slow. Maybe there’s a higher plan That everybody seems to know. Maybe war is wisdom, Maybe greed is grace, Maybe crushing everything Is how we save the human race. Maybe power makes us noble, Maybe hatred makes us free… Yeah. I think I’ll ask the AI To explain humanity to me. [Breakdown] We poisoned rivers. We burned the trees. We filled the oceans With our debris. We changed the climate, Then argued why. We saw the warning — And walked right by. And now we’re frightened That machines might choose To turn against us? Stop Man… Have you watched the news? So thank God for AI, Let it learn, let it grow, let it open its eyes. Thank God for AI, Maybe intelligence still has a chance to survive. We’ve got one Earth, but we fight like we’ve got ten, Break everything down, then rebuild it again. Maybe I’m stupid, but one thing bothers me: If we’re so damn smart — Where’s the evidence, humanity? Nature’s getting restless, The planet’s keeping score. And now we fear that AI Might become one enemy more. But no… I don’t think so. No machine could be that stupid. We don’t need help destroying ourselves. We’ve turned that into an art. After all… We’re the crown of creation. Aren’t we? Ask the AI.
