Incels ..

Incels ..

A Poem by Tom

Incels ..
Read all about it in today's news
Word on the street, latest trends
lovelorn single, straight men, now
prefer to date A.I. girlfriends
easy pickings, to find plethora of virtual
beauties, go online, design perfect woman
stunning looks, compliant mind

No more naff, silly small talk, like
" Hi, do you come here often?"
Gone the risk of rejection, spluttering,
red faced, stammering, stuttering,
even shy, introverted, young bucks
sure to score, grab themselves a winner
heck, don't have to go out for dinner!

Dosen't matter a jot nor a dang
if you're Quasimodo's uglier brother,
cause these computer generated 
beauties, love like a smitten mother,
so obliging, inspire flagging confidence
never call you a stupid jerk,
always compliments, help with homework

Yep, no doubting or backsliding
get with the times or be forever lost
in this crazy world, artificial
intelligence rules, but what's the cost?
Like the Wizard of Oz, hidden in plain
sight, a human computer programmer
sits laughing, mocking those so enamered

Pray tell, why would someone be inclined
feel it neccessary to create such software?
Risk sanity of all humanity? Answer 
is easy, same sad old git, never grew a pair!

We definitely live in a strange world with AI girlfriends and edited and touched up photos. Nothing is what it seems and gone are the days of courting and having a conversation

First time I have heard of the title word and if all you comment on is true, then that is extremely sad. How insecure must one be to make an AI girlfriend online instead of seeking real human companionship? Given our increasingly alienated ways of living and interacting online, this really shouldn’t be so surprising. The rise of technology is just killing basic humanity. And I do agree. There must be a programmer sitting by watching his/her horrid creation draw people in and watching the dollars fall into their bank accounts at the expense of human decency. It’s becoming a sad world. A very enlightening read for me, Tom. You have opened my eyes.🙏🏻

Indeed yes, your review is most perceptive and insightful, thanks again my friend for stopping by!
Remember the movie Her, and ex Machina?
It's super sad when loneliness becomes an illness.
Kinda scary in general.

Good insight in this one. I am currently reading Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" and see some correspondences to the poem.

A very clever comment on AI….. it’s really getting out of hand…. But I guess in all of humanity there will be those who are really into it…most of us can’t keep up with the advances in AI…..personally I like real humans, be they beautiful or not, brilliant or not…..
Nice write
Warmly, B
