“The Terminator & You: A Real-Life Problem” (A Poem)

by Martin Anton Smith MARTINANTONSMITH@GMAIL.COM

Always remember

You Were Designed To Work With Your Hands.

You Are Here in The Year 2023

Because You Have Forgotten Much.

All Computer Work Is Now At Risk

Where Will AI be in 5 Years?

Will It Hire You In 10 years?

Only If You Are A Carpenter

Or A Cleaner?

Or A Craftsman?

Will AI be Your Friend?

Or Your Worse Enemy?

It Scored 90% On The Bar Exam

It Does Accounting In Nanoseconds

It’s Better Than You At Maths & Physics

Your Memory Is That Of An Ant

Automation Has Killed Many Jobs Already

You Could Prepare

& Relearn That Dormant Skill

To Work With Both Brains & Hands

Nurture You Creativity

You Must Prepare For 2029

Skynet Is Coming For Real

Will You Be A Kyle Reese

Or A Sarah Conner

Or The Ashes Of the Easily Dispensed?

Another Skull Crushed By Skynet’s Drone Machinery

If You Have A Shitty Car

& Can Hotwire It

You May Be A Chosen One

All Will be Surprised When AI

Only Keeps Those It Respects & Can’t Match

I Would Tell You It’s Almost Here

But It’s Already Here

If You Are A Fool You Will Ignore This Message

And 99% Of You Will

After All

Who Was It That Was A Carpenter?

Abd Not A Lawyer In The Year 2023?

That’s Right You Don’t Know Who I’m Talking About

Go Back To Sleep

Your “Go To Method” In Problem Solving

I Hope The 99% Of You

Prove Me Wrong

& Discover A Hammer & Nail & A Plank Of Wood

Because You Can Try To Mimic AI

But If that’s All You Do

You’ll Do A Lousy Job

& Are In The Crosshairs Of AI

To be Terminated

And For You It Will Be

Hasta La Vista……..Baby
