Mmm, great poem on our humanity. I just watched a video last night of a normal guy's honest thoughts on AI in the world, and how much he sees the value in unfiltered humanity and creative works now more than ever. https://youtu.be/K1iiOpO12eg?si=rwiSzS5InLVxRYK_

Your poem reminded me of that, that while there's purpose in a machine, there's a soul in a human.

Beautiful.

Definitely saving this for next time I teach my media interns on creativity in the AI age. Summarizes it so well.

Oh there's plenty of room! Someone has to guide the way, and make sense of all the chaos.
