It’s no longer the journey

But the digital destination

Instant gratification

Banal pixel vomit

Data center blood fruit

Megabyte from Eve’s apple

Unoriginal synthesis

The serpent’s snake oil tech

Seeping into everything

We are all hallucinating

In a race to the finish

Authors Note:

This graduation season I was heartened to see videos of college graduates booing speakers touting the supposed virtues of AI. The kids are alright!
