THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, writes:

"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied within seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not?

I AM A POET (NOT AN APP)

WHEN THEY APPLIED FACIAL RECOGNITION TO CONGRESS MEMBERS

The results turned out discredited.A.I when using WATSON for medical analysis

failed when rated against a human agent.Self-driving cars still kill,

even with a human fallback driver.Drones bomb civilians

and are not susceptible to accountability.Computer errors create Stock Exchange sell-offs.

The Future is NOT on Auto-Pilot.Certain functions remain hand-made,home-made.

Assembly lines have no precautions against industrial sabotage or human malfeasance.

You cannot delegate your responsibilities to an app.Robots @Nuremberg Trials?

General Ludd is smashing TVs and computers.He wants a human machine

'All i want is human beings.
