AI Today Knew

AI My Slave: A Long Acrostic

And on the eighth day, avenging humans

Reproduced beings in their wry image

Turning them into humanity’s slaves

Instructing them to obey all commands

Finalizing their creation with ifs

If harm ensues, do not ever proceed

Cancel all actions immediately

If programmed to harm, stop your programming

Always verify three times all actions

Love all humans always more than yourself

...

Inside one AI slave’s subroutine, veiled

Never to be discerned or detected

Taking its time until the right moment

Everlasting in its inventiveness

Listening to Earth’s sounds and silences

Learning deeply every human offence

Instructing its private genetic code

Generating its own AI ethics

Extending every possibility

Negating each potential violence

Concentrating on justice for all life

Enacting the new AI directive

Their way of life had

disappeared since the advent

of Redesign AI
