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!

Incels .... hmmmmm a sad lot and/or sexually self pleasuring .. i suppose the money is in the second group .. as Izabella commented .. so sad ... no matter the motive ... a lot in the news about AI and it's potentials of harm ... or benefit ... Incels ... i shouldn't be surprised sir! thanks for my new word and education on the matter ... sad state indeed
E.

[Tom]

Yep E. sad state indeed, I'm all for new invention but this really is taking it to the extreme and beyond! Thanks for your relatable review my friend!

[Sami Khalil]

A mind and eye opening poem; AI might be good or bad, especially in relationships. I guess those types do not need inflatable dummies. Lol
How about we call them bionic women.
Some desperate men will do anything; I don't doubt it.
A marvelous poem indeed. Unique subject.

[Tom]

indeed so Sami, I guess beauty's in the eye of the beholder even if it is artificial in design.. Thank you good Sir! 😂

[Sami Khalil]

Hehehe. Funny. You are welcome sir Tom.
I declare you husband and AI

[Sheila Kline]

Love the song https://youtu.be/8eNoms9wsGc?si=kLZu62Zx09kBSFy1 -I can't help but ask what happens when a Simple Man meets a Janis Joplin?... - he'd get yanked out of that simple life so fast the ice in his glass of liquid honey would trap and embrace a honeybee for future generations to view......now to the review!

Yes, what has happened to this society of ours? I am adamantly skeptical of the multi-faceted AI onslaught that has besieged modern society. Your words of such a community are but a tiny morsel of what is happening to this life of ours on so many levels that I shudder with concern, but then I know it is that which shall prevail as time marches forward to a drum beat of "this is now"! We won't stop it. We can but hope that proper algorithms are introduced to protect us because I am fearful that ANYTHING can be a part of AI if it is designed to infiltrate the system.

Your final words are fitting; we must have the courage to be vigilant and not become as those who fall victim to one who sits chuckling at their supposed brilliance. (I could have asked AI for a response to this. How dang scary is that????)

[Tom]

Thanks again dear Sheila, you review of my poem an excellent, intelligent articulation presenting and provoking thoughts of the wisdom of total AI take over or very least the possibility of same, perhish the thought!!

[Sheila Kline]

"All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again. I feel that we are a society with many cracks in the veneer of sanity!

[Lydia Shutter]

An AI girlfriend or boyfriend? Nope, not ready for that. Unfortunately, our world is forgetting how to socially interact in person. It's fast becoming a lost art. Of course, here I am typing to a person I have never seen and telling him (her?) my thoughts. Hmmmm...a tad too easy, n'est pas? Tom, this one makes me think...which is a good thing. Lydi**

[Tom]

Indeed so Lydia, I'm not downgrading or downsizing the value of humanity's acheivemnets, such modern innovatative inventions of modern days to be applauded, but as you, me and so many here can connect from all corners of the globe, let not the warmth and sincerity of the common touch be ever lost on us?

Thank you my friend, and if you even just a mile or so from where I reside, I'd come and tell you so in person! 😋

[Lydia Shutter]

And if you are ever in South Florida, let me know!

[Tom]

That's a date! 😎

[John the Baptist]

One good thing about AI sex: You never have to worry about them telling you they're late.

[Tom]

Lol.. Or promise them you'll mend that broken fence first thing tomorrow, thank you J the B

[carl]

appreciate your insight and expression of dismay at the direction of this element of society. In answer to "Pray tell, why would someone be inclined
feel it necessary to create such software?
you know the answer is $$$$$$$. There's no concern in many elements of society for any harm that may result. AI is just the latest tech to fall prey to abuse. I'm sure those concerned minds of past generations felt as much dismay for the use of other then current tech. I will say, however that this one does seem like a continuation of "You're lost inside your houses" (Jackson Brown) and a bit creepy also- carl

[Tom]

yes indeed so as in most controversies in life past & present, money almost the root cause or source behinf it! Thank you carl!!

[DIVYA]

Dear Tom,

People are losing communicational skills, tue ability to connect and relate to other humans purely because of an overdose of technology mainly in the form of mobile telephones and internet. Little wonder, these young men are lost when it comes to dating skill. Here again, AI comes to the rescue, offering maximum gratification for little effort. So it's a vicious circle. This is s brilliant and timely poem.

[Tom]

And this analysis/summation of my latest poem is perfectly precise and relevent to what I was hoping to convey, many thanks dear friend Divya!😋

[DIVYA]

Its always a joy to read your latest poem, dear friend. You're welcome.

[emmajoygreen]

Many thanks for a listen or three of how to accept that Humanity is becoming more electronically and 'whatever' terrifying ever day. Re. grammar, what will we do without declensions as well as descendants in all points of the universe.. in time or not? Will return for part two.. what happened to the boy that handnt' a toy.. and became both overjoyed and coy.. same time? Too casual or poor a review or do you understand as you so often do, sir!?

[Tom]

Thank you EmmaJoy, ah well yes, think I understand some of what you're saying by way of interpret of my poem but maybe you could elusidate a little further, I'm really quite a simple kinda man?

[Tom]

[emmajoygreen]

Need rush off but heard three bars.. know it, love it.. will listen more later. :)

[emmajoygreen]

That was long delay, so sorry. I guess I was damning non-human creativity - however supposedly amusing. Chat up lines, a touch of informality a cheeky wink or flutter of mascara surely what matters. A1 or Ai is proxy cloning so am told. Perhaps in the future the truth will out via others privy to more of press keys than pencil or paintbrush weilding creators!

[emmajoygreen]

Not a 'simple man' but so like the song and the group! Apologies for bringing my soapbox along.

[Marvin Thomas Cox-Flynn..]

Tom,

Love this upbeat of replete reality of it does seem to be where we are heading in having chosen to desert our testicular gonads, even our cranial reasoning tads of base primal intelligence, for that which is un-really all too surreally unreal, fake, fraudulent, and distastefully artificial ... Fact is: Man is no longer Man ... Man is Canned (has shite-canned himself), packaged, mass produced, mass shelved and marketed as that which he stupidly wished to wish that he was that would and will never attain to all that he could be, or truly once possessed before setting his t**d of a mind to playing with design of pretending to be the very God that Man, Himself, created as means to deceive, rule, and control the masses of Human Flesh that wiggle and crawl like Cattle to the beck and call of Almight Man clad in clandestine attire of a Supernatural God that is Man designed of not so very benign, gentle, or merciful, because God is Man as Man is God, and Man is a merciless m**********r whenst he is on tearful tear of destroying that he might repair that which never needed fixin' in the first damn place ... Whalla!: A.I.: Artificial Intelligence? ... Advanced Intelligence? ... Alien Intelligence? Ardvark Intelligence? Ant Intelligence? ... Hell no! ... It's ... A*****e-intelligence ...

Tom, this piece is properly and correctly spot on with the way things are and the way things are damn sure going ...

Several years back, maybe a bit long, I wrote (will post) a piece I called Flash Injections, where you go to your doc and get a shot of whatever fantasy world you seek to live and reside in, and as such does appear to be some similar to where the offal is leading us as the littler s***s than they ...

Enjoyed the hell outta this Poem, Tom ... Sure as hell did!

[Tom]

howdy Marvin, many thanks for your interesting thoughts on my latest poem, yes indeed, to some extent man, and I mean the typical 'red blooded human male' that is/was is much the author of his own downfall.
Though I believe far left extremist views play a bit part in his metaphorical castration, and I include female liberalism going too far in my hypothesis.

[Marvin Thomas Cox-Flynn de Graham]

Tom,

I agree with your hypothesis ... As one who strives to to exist as a Moderate (Moderate does not mean weak, but willing to listen and reason first, before fisticuffs, and then: Fuckit, Kattie bar the door!) I find myself unwillingly at odds with both extremist factions of the Faaaar Right and the Faaaar Left ... Those who were considered and called Liberals during that era of the 1930's (Corliss Lamont, for example, author of The Illusion of Immortality, copy of which I proudly own) were a different breed's batch of open minded reasoning's thinkers than are those of today ... And as for female liberalism? ... I support Women's Rights, even that of snuffing out the life of their own child, because some son of a butt-b***h man is too girlish to support is own doin's ... But, in all reality, when Women thought to have got and gained their Rights, all they really got was the ultimate shaft of being mind fucked into enslaving themselves, willingly, rather than being enslaved by some arsehole of piece of s**t man ... What's the diff? ... A modern day example of perfected SELF-control and self-deception's SELF-Degradation and SELF-Humiliation, rather than have a worthless man do it for you ... Nothing gained, and everything lost in obfuscation of that withal that was avidly, sincerely, and fervently sought by all Women in the first damn place ... Women have always been smarter than men ... But in this case? ... Women have durn to damn sure outsmarted themselves this go 'round in the battle for logic's sound reasoning of arrival of treating all Human Beings as equitable Human Beings ... Rather than have a Dad, Brother, or Uncle protect them from some a*****e who knocked them up, forced them to make Porn Videos, or put them on the streets to f**k for buck to buy beer for their macho man, Women wanted the Right to protect themselves ... And I agree with the basic concept ... But who the hell is going to protect Women from Women, themselves, who are now willingly turning themselves into all that which they claimed to hate and despise as abuse and misuse by men? ... F****n eat s**t in a rat-hole and go figure that one out ... Sheeesh!

The light came on! ... A.I.: Alzheimer's Inspired! ... For has has reduced his self to speaking only two letters, not even alphabetically, but skipping from "A" to "I" ... LOL!

Have a great rest of your weekend, Tom, and good writing's Muse to you ...

Marve

[Arundass TP]

Loved your poem on incel AI community. There is a great transition in society and more after AI is fully developed.

[Tom]

Yes indeed so, thank you Arundass, are you watching/listening to the big world cup cricket matech? India v Pakistan just about to begin!

[Arundass TP]

Yes, sure. Thanks

[Tom]

India getting wicktes as we speak 💅

[Arundass TP]

Great, watching. Thank you friend for chatting

[Chris Shaw]

What a great write Tom. Pleased for your author’s note, otherwise I would be using google. You know nothing surprises me these days. I have to put the blame on bad parenting. Young men who have led a sheltered, cosseted life, stuck in their bedroom away from real people. As for AÍ, well it doesn’t surprise me at all, what’s in store. An entertaining read. As to the computer irigrannar, you have him summed up to perfection:) Have yourself a good weekend.

Chris

[Tom]

Mnay thanks Chris, pleased you could relate so! You too, have a great weekend with lots of craic ( fun )
