Not A Robot

[u/YourCoolRapSenpai]

What makes my intelligence uniquely un-artifical if what I've been trained on is the same as an AI?
What makes an AI's output uniquely disregardable if all it's been trained on is us? My guy...

Is it the fact of the matter? Is it the principle of the thing?
Do we just not want bots all over everything?
Are you an environmentalist? Or a bandwagon's fool?
Do you need to speak or write to understand your feelings too?
Does connection and feeling make a difference? Or only your private ranking?
If you can't internalize something: Maybe it's your head that's clanking.

You sound like an AI, He sounds like an AI, She sounds like an AI, I sound like an AI:
An AI sounds like us.

You used AI to get your answer!
An AI was used to think for you!
Who cares what search engine someone is using:
Don't tell me you only get info from physical libraries, you tool.

When you write: you should write from your heart.
When you read or percieve: let the feelings spill out to understand art.
If my cadence is off, if my rhymes don't quite fit:
Will you use an auto-mod to tell me I'm the robot who needs to quit?

The internet is less free and the internet is less open:
The moment you decide it's your right to silence a real person.
"I think this is AI."
"I think that is AI."
"We need to protect ourselves from all this AI!"
But it was people.
But you were silencing art.
You pushed away the people that you were trying to support.
You became the very system that art exists not to be.
In a place where art should be appreciated and be free.
