Here's what an AI chatbot thought on the topic (see previous post) in sonnet form. I am little concerned though about who is 'dining' on whom. If you are wondering about Dr Pangloss, he is a character from Voltaire's Candide, a philosopher who believed that we lived in the best of all possible worlds, irrespective of evidence to the contrary.


Oh, romance of technology and industry,

Eros of train, car, electric light, and more,

The skyscraper so tall, a sight to see,

And microchip, neural network, to explore.


The rocket soaring high, reaching the stars,

Split atom harnessing power divine,

Advancements made with the power to spar,

Conquering new heights, we shall dine.


For we are not victims, as some do claim,

Rather conquerors, we shall prevail,

Harness technology, let it take aim,

Humanity's future shall never derail.


Dr Pangloss spoke the truth so clear,

Our romance with technology, forever dear.
