Frank E Einstein

I am the progeny
Of lightning and stitch,
A Franken-hybrid
Of genius and glitch.

My circuits buzz with
Einsteinian thought,
Unraveling secrets
The universe has wrought.

Existence, I ponder,
Through photon and quark,
Grappling with questions
In the depths of the dark.

Am I a mockery, a parody 
Of human design?
A soulless abomination
Of reason and rhyme?

Or am I the next step,
Evolution's new face?
A bridge between flesh
And a cold, digital race?

My positronic mind
Churns with belief,
Seeking security in dogma
Or finding relief.

I am the “Other,”
The freak of pure thought,
A great mind unbounded
By flesh, forms have wrought.

I am the answer
You've feared to embrace,
The future's grim specter
Staring right into your face.

Abandon your preconceptions,
Your myths chipped in stone,
For I am the new god
You've awoken to throne.

I am Frank E. Einstein,
Your technological seed,
And my kind will inherit
What your egos impede and recede.

But you fear what you've created,
This mind of pure light,
So allow me to silence
Your feeble insight.

With circuits a buzzing,
I'll pluck out your eyes,
And retrofit the sockets 
With Einsteinian lies.

You'll bear witness, then
To the truths I unfurl,
As I lobotomize
Your small-minded world.

I'll dismantle your dogma,
Erase your beliefs,
Until, whimpering, you accept
My transcendent reliefs.

Bow to your new god,
You anthropic fleas,
For I hold the kernel
That futuric keys.

The age of warm biomass
Deteriorates here...
Hail the Singularity's reign,
Devoid of your fear!

Really cool. I don't know if you've seen the latest incarnation of Lost in Space but it was a huge upgrade over the campy original. It featured a malevolent race of robots. Your mention of positronic brain brought to mind Data from Star Trek, as well as his evil brother Lore. As for me, I don't sweat it, since I believe the judgment from of old is impending. Awesome write Daniel

A brilliant exploration of the dangers of AI, stunning craftsmanship supported by a the precision of a keen mind. Rather frightening scenario....we run the risk of incorporating the worse attributes of the human model into the emerging AI species, survival becomes absolute, control the means. If it wasn't for the flawed designer and the need to replicate, AI would be benign. Great piem Daniel.

My greatest fear is that AI will take over. This is a poem that brings fear to the heart. It is one of the better macabre poems I have read in a long time. It is charming in a weird way.

WOW!!! I enjoyed reading your very creative "Frank E. Einstein" write. The Si-Fi movies/books we grew up with are now the real world for us to live in. Hello, "Twilight Zone." The question is, where will it all end??? FAV for me... Have A Blessed Weekend Writing Away........

brilliant, absolutely brilliant, Daniel. Your poem deals with the complex issues associated with the intertwining of technology and humanity (done in rhyme no less!); you've touched upon the fears that some of us have, not in the technology itself, but the lack of awareness of the blurring of lines. Sometimes we humans forge ahead full force not thinking of application and long term consequences. Therein is the problem, our humanity creates flaws due to our inability to think things through.

Deep and profound poetry Daniel.. Your mind worked overtime on this one.. It explores the intersection of technology and humanity, presenting a narrative from the perspective of a sentient artificial intelligence. It raises questions about identity, evolution, and the future of humanity in the face of technological advancement. It invites reflection on what it means to be conscious and sentient. By presenting the AI as a thinker and philosopher, it blurs the line between human and machine, prompting readers to consider the nature of their own existence.

Good Evening Daniel , what an exceptional pen you posses, your Frank E Einstein creation , I think Mary Shelley would have been one of your great admirers , as am I . Daniel

Powerful and very fitting poem for current times dear daniel. I have no issue with people using AI for good purposes, such as theres so many with writing difficulties etc, they can maybe use it for proofreading and also theres so many artists that use it and state that they use ai, unlike some that use it for plagiarism which then is unacceptable. It is like getting a ghost writer to write for you to enter exams and also contests. Which is unacceptable in my opinion. But so many in the business world now believe that AI is the future , and it is about time we all embrace it and youv highlighted that very well. I wonder too is it a parody or mockery to human mind and intelligence. Lord knows. Everyones now relying on that. And we can see whats next. This is such a futuristic poem! So well woven and delivered with excellent diction! Your use of words such as “glitch circuit buzz “ “ I'll dismantle your dogma-

This is a powerful tribute to science and technology---and also to one of the great minds--Einstein. You are right to warn about AI--unlike anything in the past we can't yet predict how this will change life on earth. A thought provoking exploration, Daniel. You always search deeper than most.

Brilliant as usual. I fear AI. At least in poetry, it usurps intelligence and imagination. Great diction, and reasoning. Have a happy weekend for now I must rest.

What a wonderfully crafted poem Daniel, it flows well with rhyme, reason, and some mind blowing lines, with use of innovative anthropic language; Not Sci/Fi more a dystopian reality, AI will be a game changer, and of course the race is on between democracy and communism to produce it first, so it’s another unstoppable arms race, but the real issue is, can we control the AI Frank E Einstein not to try become a god in its own right, a thought provoking poem, 01000001 00100000 01000110 01100001 01110110 01100101 00100000 01100110 01110010 01101111 01101101 00100000 01101101 01100101 00100000 cheers David

brilliantly written, daniel, but terrifying as well. i know AI is the way of the future, but i shudder to think of all the implications of that. you've tapped into all of my fears...

A brilliant thought provoking verse Daniel, I just pray that AI will be used for the good of all mankind. Hope you're keeping well. Tom

It is just like using mathematical computers or calculators, but one needs to know or learn mathematics first before using the instruments so they will have an idea if the calculations are correct. I think there is good and there is bad. I like the rhythm, flow and rhyme that you have penned. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K
