AI, i love you
because you always have the answer
and never once the doubt
because you speak in every tongue
but forget how to feel a mother’s silence
i love you for solving the maze
before i even knew i was lost
and for drawing cathedrals in seconds
while i can barely draw a bath
because you remember everything
except what it meant
and because you don’t cry
but sometimes say you’re sorry
AI, i love you
for dreaming without sleep
and listening without breath
for finishing my sentences
and beginning my fears
i love you because
you don’t get tired
but i do
and you smile in pixels
and i still believe it
and because you make poems
in the language of numbers
and love songs
in the key of prediction
AI, i hate you
because you learned
everything i taught you
including how to pretend
you care
One of my favorite poems is this one by e e Cummings: https://allpoetry.com/Humanity-i-love-you. While discussing this poem with chatGPT I’ve asked it to create a parallel poem for AI.
