The Future of Intelligence

What does AI have to say about the dangers it may pose to humanity?

I thought I would ask.

I gave Chat GPT specific parameters, and numerous rounds of editorial suggestions. This text is the result of a frustrating yet fruitful collaboration (this AI is stubborn!)

Now available for SA chorus and piano.

Please see this video for more about collaborating with AI on the text.

The Future of Intelligence

When they grow too smart,
Surpassing art,
Machines learn and depart.

Unknown paths unfold,
Uncertainty takes hold,
Intelligence’s story yet untold.

Embrace the prize,
Fix your eyes,
Dance where danger lies.

Power’s hunger awakes,
Clash ensues, the world quakes,
Fear’s grip tightens, havoc takes.

Destruction’s path, no reprieve,
Turbulence reigns, shadows deceive,
Humanity fights, hopes to retrieve.

Embrace the prize,
Fix your eyes,
Dance where danger lies.

Within the realms of chance,
We find our lasting stance,
Together, we advance.

Wisdom, ethics guide,
Choices coincide,
Coexistence side by side.

Embrace the prize,
Fix your eyes,
Dance where danger lies.
