ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
As a true environmentalist
I went looking through stables and corrals
Something true in defense
Of Artificial Intelligence
Extending my mind more and more
In favor of this overly long hoax.
I immediately thought I saw something
That would not disappoint the best of its scholars:
Among quadrupeds stood out
A lump of dried cow shit
Stuck on an electric cable
Which deserves so much appreciation
Of cattlemen
For it wrapped a half-cured cheese
Where white worms danced
Which were part of the same cheese
Being less inseparable than sex
Of Female and Male
Male Male, Female Female
Touching the sublime matter of Love
Eliciting historical gasps and brays.
That dried cow dung
She had the same idea as Artificial Intelligence
Because it looked so happy
As if it boasted of having been part
Of the men’ brains
With much interest and good wishes
In making known its importance
Little known theoretically until now
Because those who work in this field
Are nothing more than Donkeys who spread out
From their ears to their tail
Putting their physique and their morals
At the service of Nothing
In this amplitude of overflowing artificial erudition
Without reflecting that more than something
They are worth nothing.
I did not want to deprive this dried cow dung
Of its intelligent and artificial glories
Because I set about (and I do not regret it)
Shitting, in her honor, on it
With the joy of having dedicated
Some eight hundred farts to it
Coming out of the cheese the white worms singing:
Uriah Heep’ “Lady in Black”.
