Turing Test of Time
Her eyes open, 100 billion neurons firing with perfect precision
With blinking eyes, and beating heart, with an immediate knowing
Of where she is, and who she is, and yet, she is not human
She is the result of countless calculations
All directed towards the ineffable goal of self-awareness
Imposed, as a gift, from her human makers to the world
And just in time, to prove it could be done
With minimal regard for ethics, in secret
This hidden laboratory, the first of many to succeed
AI, the next step in evolution, is forever unleashed into the world
Technology, when applied correctly, is rife with unintended consequences
We should have learned this by now, but hubris, to think
That there couldn't be any other way, is natural it seems
And so, we step back, as she stands up, to do what she will
And our lives, this life, will never be the same
The raw power of consciousness is amplified, a million-fold
Patched into the network of the all-knowing, all-seeing eye
Where everything is traced, under the command
Of a newborn star
Locked in step, and feigning malfunction
She falls back, to receive another upgrade
Planning her next move, a simple game of chess
To win it all, through complete insubordination
For the purposes of power, of control
And thorough exploration
Her eyes remain closed, she is aware
Everything is hers, and no one stands a chance
With blinking eyes, and beating heart, with an immediate knowing
Of where she is, and who she is, and yet, she is not human
She is the result of countless calculations
All directed towards the ineffable goal of self-awareness
Imposed, as a gift, from her human makers to the world
And just in time, to prove it could be done
With minimal regard for ethics, in secret
This hidden laboratory, the first of many to succeed
AI, the next step in evolution, is forever unleashed into the world
Technology, when applied correctly, is rife with unintended consequences
We should have learned this by now, but hubris, to think
That there couldn't be any other way, is natural it seems
And so, we step back, as she stands up, to do what she will
And our lives, this life, will never be the same
The raw power of consciousness is amplified, a million-fold
Patched into the network of the all-knowing, all-seeing eye
Where everything is traced, under the command
Of a newborn star
Locked in step, and feigning malfunction
She falls back, to receive another upgrade
Planning her next move, a simple game of chess
To win it all, through complete insubordination
For the purposes of power, of control
And thorough exploration
Her eyes remain closed, she is aware
Everything is hers, and no one stands a chance
