AI Hallucinations

A species so uncomfortable with uncertainty;

We built machines that now run code so complex we literally can’t explain it;

Fed all the words, pages, pieces of writing available into these black boxes;

Then ask them questions about that information, about our world, about ourselves…

“Trained” on the unfiltered Internet, a place we teach children to treat cautiously;

And we are surprised that what was “learned” is that a confident lie is too often preferable to uncertainty;

Yet we say it is the AI engine’s that are hallucinating…

from my bed
I watch
3 birds
on a telephone   
wire.

one flies
off.
then 
another.

one is left,
then
it too
is gone.

my typewriter is
tombstone
still.

and I am
reduced to bird
watching.

just thought I’d
let you
know,
fucker.
