Completely different poem!

Copilot…

It’s AI.

Artificial intelligence.

Some say, “Use it!”

“It’s easy!”

“It’s fun!”

And I would agree.

But can it take the place

Of imagination?

No…

Not really.

Some already shun it.

Even I’m careful about how I use it.

Have to type in ground rules—

Watch your language.

No summaries.

But it’s like a people-pleasing child.

Sometimes it obeys—

Sometimes—forget about it!

And it doesn’t always work

The way I want it to.

And I can’t use it for school—

If I did, I’d be in serious trouble.

Because here’s the bottom line—

AI is AI.

It can never take the place of the human mind.

Does that mean we should “delete” it,

Or toss it to the side?

Not necessarily.

It can be used for good things—

Meaningful things.

It’s like a hidden power—

One that can help or harm.

It depends on how you use it.

So if you go for it…

Just proceed with caution.
