Worshipping Algorithms

by Kevin T McEneaney

To be merely human is now passé.

Long ago, we invented deity

who invisibly regulated life.

Then we invented exalted heroes

who were half-deity and half-human.

After that we perceived ourselves as gods

subjecting all “inferior” humans….

Now we will be subject to AI gods

who will do most of our thinking for us….

We are finally free from our egos.

If anything goes wrong, blame AI gods

who used an incorrect algorithm. 

Robots will mow lawns, deliver food, things,

so everyone can play computer games….
