The Dark Choice

The machine of life

By Mark Stigers Published 2 years ago • 1 min read

A Dark Choice

One day there will be a dark choice

Between the many and the few

Who do you choose above another

Who do you choose to loose

Do you choose your mother

Instead if a gang of thieves

Or is there another one

That you might choose to seize

Would you let AI choose

An unbiased choice

Who gets the prize might be fine

Or does this give death a voice

In such a matter of life or death

Can a human always choose

Or will we let AI decide

A machine to tell us who should loose

If you cannot make the dark choice

In a split second of time

Can we make a machine that will

See beyond the human mind
