Confronting the Indignity of AI
by Michael Doyle

Pope Leo finds clicks to be the power,
Truth is less necessary in this human hour.
The pressing question is what would Jesus do?
Maybe that's more applicable to me and you.

I don't want to be less Christian in my resentment.
But truth to power can be quite important.
The plans for AI are an affront to human dignity/
It isn't particularly a work of Christianity.

A Marxist presses buttons to assemble a walk on the ledge,
But what it isn't is anything close to Christian knowledge.
Screentime addiction indeed lacks even a remote quality,
Again, all we can do is be vigilant as we insist on dignity.

Across the world and in every single nation,
The youth of our time are subject to manipulation.
As AI takes our work, it takes away our self-esteem.
We must watch this before AI Strips away our dreams.

Further around the world, hate and war dominate,
It's our responsibility to void out that fate.
We must strive for a civilization based on love.
We must work toward an Earth like Heaven above.

Working against this world of increasing manipulation,
We find Pope Leo speaking words of chosen cultivation.
Every Christian is to prepare gardens to bear good fruit,
And to be ever mindful of what it is that we contribute.

Disarmament of AI is the way that we move toward
A dignified Path for humanity moving forward.
Like nuclear power, we need discernment and control.
In the service of peace, it's important to the soul.

Decisions about what we do with our technology
Is a matter of doing what's right with responsibility.
Peace is something we must work for every day
As we continue to work toward our intended better way.

It is the way like Nehemiah's way with his brick wall.
We must build together as we heed a just God's call.
We must direct AI to serve humanity with care,
And we must ensure AI's foundation is made fair.

All of humanity must righteously work toward AI's good,
Letting no human fall behind, as that's understood.
All of this technology must work for the human family.
To walk this life, we must live above the homily.

AI, in its nature. trends toward dependency.
This must be attended to with all transparency.
It is a matter of truth, and in this honesty,
AI must be approached with a sense of responsibility.

We must guard against every move against humanity.
This is not merely a matter of our grandiose victory.
In Christ, we find our only needed dependency.
AI cannot offer salvation or even our dignity.
