A show trial!
A machine to humble humanity!
A complex game that is!
But only people can laugh at:
"What is leg?";
and even children can sneer at US Cities:
"What is Toronto?"
The computer will win the dollars
but it won't spend them at the opera.
We can contemplate
the brain of a butterfly
and know that our creations
are but poor echoes;
and that even of Mozart,
even of Michelangelo in his finest hour,
and now surely even of Watson;
we can ask:
"Is that all there is?"

twelveooneabout 13 years agoDuh, I was is serious dumb mode yesterday. Watson. popped back, just to tell you it looks better today. I gave you a 100 already, and it is not you nor the poem, but you do have to be careful with things like "Watson", here it is perfect. But like I said, I was in serious dumb mode yesterday.
vrosej10about 13 years agoThis is a great poem. Very deep and complex. I found the rhythm a little jerky and weird though. I am giving it five and a recommend though.
EroticOrogenyabout 13 years agoI like to believe that there are some areas where computers will never be able to match us, but its hard to be definitive about it.
Looking at both computers and people, it comes down more to the software than the hardware. We wrote the computer's software, including its learning capability, who wrote ours?
jthserraabout 13 years agoKen Jennings was ahead... wow. I guess this is a case of art mimicking real life??
jth : )
Esperanza_Hidalgoabout 13 years agowill never smile or salivate at a beautiful poem. Wait, maybe if Isaac Asimov's vision comes true. I do love the implication that a machine will never replace the soul of humanity.
