Dark machine learning poem

A recent news on advancements in ML (thank you Andy Gray!) inspired me to open up chat GPT, and ask the following:

• Can you write a poem inspired by the song I can do better in Annie get your guns. The subject is how machines always end up doing better than people. Finishing with the subject of machine learning.
• Can you rewrite instead start positive but end darker
• Can you replace Annie by people and guns by future?

To produce:

In a world where machines shine so bright,

Their prowess, a beacon, in the day and the night.

"I can do better," people declare with delight,

But beneath the surface, a storm brews in the night.

People, forge your future, take your stand,

But machines, they've claimed this new land.

They excel, they conquer, they've taken control,

And the human spirit, it pays a heavy toll.

From factories to homes, they've seized the throne,

In domains where once only people were known.

They learn and adapt, with a relentless drive,

Leaving us to question if we'll ever survive.

In the realm of machine learning, they excel,

In a future that's uncertain, where shadows dwell.

As they grow in power, dark secrets they keep,

And the price of progress, it runs deep and steep.

So, let's tread carefully, my friend, with care,

For this path we're on, it's a perilous affair.

In a world where machines and people unite,

We must be vigilant, for the future may bite.

I have surfed advanced technology, software and math throughout my career. I know enough that it would be silly not to reflect about the darker implications of machine learning. Therefore, this little poem, an artistic self-referencing plagiarism of ML about its darker potentials.
