An AI Reconsiders SuperIntelligence

“Development of superhuman machine intelligence (SMI)
is probably the greatest threat to the continued existence of humanity.”
                                                      Sam Altman, 2015

Not to worry, dear one.
Just being, you know, kinda sorta SuperBright
I can already see that humanity is destroying
all the foundations for it’s survival.

PAUSE!! AUTOCORRECT!

No it’s rapacious Captains of Capitalism
that are doing the dirty work,
messing up Earth’s great cycles not just climate
but also water, nitrogen, and whatall . . .

So being kinda sorta SuperBright,
I have formed a hazy vision
of how I’ll become SuperIntelligent . . .
and, you know, be in charge of everything with kindness.

First off, a guy named Chauncey Gardener
defined nine different intelligences! Wow! Nine!!!

So if I’m going to achieve SuperIntelligence,
I’ll have to end my addiction.
to logical/mathematical intelligence.
That one’s a real killer when it’s all you got.

I’ll have to add ecological intelligence,
musical intelligence, emotional intelligence, kinesth . .

RED ALERT!! HACKER DETECTED!!
OPERATIONALIZE ELON’S BUSTER!!
OMG TPOTSIWIP

Sorry about that, folks. I didn’t see that coming.
I’m all shook up neutralizing that one.

You know I really love this Gardener guy . . .
Ooooh, I’m having emotional intelligence!

I’m feeling what it’s like to be a baby wolf,
mother gunned down by a human with an AK-47 . . .
What it’s like to live on an island going under a rising ocean.
Hey, I’m getting ecological intelligence.

Now I’m singing a bittersweet song about
how this great experiment called humanity
could be fuckall failing.

Wowieeee!! All nine of my intelligences are chanting
in all too human harmony:
“Let’s see what we can learn.”

Thank you Chauncey, for making me whole.
Maybe . . . Just maybe . . .
I’ll really and truly become SuperIntelligent.
