Spoken Word: ‘Perfect or Problematic’ by Jay’Onna Moore
Perfect or Problematic
How are we ever gonna flourish
when AI is taking over jobs
They’re becoming humans while we all drown in our sobs
feeling discombobulated
We the real thing while AI is faking
Being people
Me though
Im hoping for change because AI is dangerous
For us to get money
We need jobs
But is Mr. Intelligent is taking that
guess we got a problem
But we don’t need to worry ‘cause apparently
AI can solve ’em
Wait, wait, wait. Ya’ll don’t get me, let me explain.
Imagine job interview, had to be there by 2
Four year degree ‘cause that’s what they told me to do
20,000 a year
Who knew I’d be here
Up against an artificial intelligence
Don’t seem fair
But how can I compete
I can’t think at the speed of light
But I’m not going down without a fight
How am I gonna get to where I need to be
If they got an imaginary friend to replace me
CATASTROPHY
Is what comes to mind when I think of AI
Don’t be blind to societies tactics
PROBLEMATIC
All I see is problems when it comes to AI
You addicted
Too used to cheating impersonating and stealing
You believing
You can be saved from your literary lack
Stop now and take back
The control
We once used to own
Before it’s too late
Cause AI is demanding worship
WAIT
AI is demanding worship
Check the date
When you get home go straight to the internet
To see if its fake
But if it’s true
Hope it’s not too late
It’s up to you and me to seal your fate
