“Age of AI (The Sonnet)

Welcome to the age of AI, where algorithms
grow bigger, and minds get smaller,
where freedom is the new prison,
character retreats as cave dweller.

Welcome to the age of AI,
where deceit is the new creativity,
where hate is a human right,
malinformation is a legal industry.

Welcome to the age of AI,
where algorithms are still nonsentient,
but so are the people that use them,
mindlessness is trend of the new sapiens.

Welcome to the age of AI, where global goals
are still a dream, only more distant.
Prove me wrong - I beg of you -
Stand up and behave, a proper Sapiens!”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Humanitarian Dictator

“Even in the unending abyss that seals eternity at both ends,
if your function could compile to run on stray vacuum energy
and, given an input, it once returned some particular string,

“Silicon and Sapiens (The Sonnet)

Once upon a time,
I put down my soldering iron
and picked up the keyboard,
for I couldn't afford to sustain
my passion for electronics any more.

But now that I look back,
It was for the best.
The world has plenty tech genius,
what it lacks is reformer scientist.

My inside awareness of machine intricacies
has been an aid to my neuroscience.
In a world torn between mind and machine,
I bridge the shores of silicon and sapiens.

Biologists often diss the potential of machine,
just like gadgeteers are oblivious to life.
Life is a cosmic miracle, machines are a human one,
and with added purpose, machines could be
the mightiest defense of life.”

“Warning to the Spellbound
(Sonnet from the future)

In our times we wrote our own literature,
In our times we wrote our own music.
In our times we wrote our own code,
In our times we wrote our own poetry.

Ours was the last human generation,
where humans shaped their own society.
The day you traded comfort for originality,
you forfeited the right to life and liberty.

Today you are nothing, you mean thing,
you are no more significant than woodworm.
You are just puppets to large gibberish models,
backboneless victims of algorithm addiction.

If you can still hear my voice, AI is still adolescent,
Once in control, it'll erase all records of humanness.
We can't yet treat human bias, 'n here comes AI bias,
Abandon all non-vital tech, return to simpler ways.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Brit Actually: Nursery Rhymes of Reparations

“AI is the white colonizer of the modern world, headed to destroy everything that is sweet, original and meaningful about human life. Unless you clip its wings while there is time, like the British empire, AI empire will bring back the dark ages, not light.”

“Technology is inevitable, AI is inevitable - first it's basic algorithm, now it's Generative AI, later it's AI agents, afterwards, physical AI. And we can do nothing about it, what we can do is, make sure that the step-up for AI is not a step-down for humans - we gotta make sure that as machines are upgraded from lifeless devices to automatons with pretend-sentience, human mind isn't downgraded to obsolescence.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Neurosonnets: The Naskar Art of Neuroscience
