“Data is Power (Sonnet)
Coming from a childhood passion for
electronics, initially I fostered a
favorable outlook on Artificial Intelligence,
but as further implications are beginning to
unfold, I'm developing an ominous distaste.
There is no question about the computational
capacities of AI, but humans are not equipped
to fathom, how to apply such power positively.
Then there is the question of instant garbage
generated by lazy prompts, passed as creativity.
It took 3 years of sweat and vision
for Michelangelo to sculpt David,
today AGI can do that in mere hours.
Does such instant cosmetic art have
any value! AI art is just fancy knockoff.
Human mind seeks understanding,
AI seeks data - lots and lots of data.
AI's hunger for data is matched only
by the billionaire's hunger for power.
How much power is enough power,
particularly now when data is power!
What's the point of power and data,
if they just empower criminal behavior!”
― Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood

“Although the method is simple, it shows how, mathematically, random brute force can overcome precise logic. It's a numerical approach that uses quantity to derive quality.”
