Infernal Rhythms

Posted on by Reena Saxena

I download an app
to delete noise from pictures
but it is ineffective
beyond two dimensions

light and colour
collide in different shapes
opinions push their way
through objectivity
Big Data is not worth
the analytical effort

Decisions are skewed
Insanity prevails
against the backdrop
of the majority

Majority wins
Majority rules
with high decibels
drowns out ethics
brutes kill morality

  1. Old MacDonald had some stats, A.I.-A.I.-Oh!
    But when he tried to crunch the facts, A.I.-A.I.-Oh!
    With a chart here, and a graph there,
    Here a blip, there a blip, data everywhere!
    Big Data is not worth
    the analytical effort,
    At least not for folks like us, A.I.-A.I.-Oh!

    Old MacDonald called in bots, A.I.-A.I.-Oh!
    Algorithms tied the knots, A.I.-A.I.-Oh!
    With a click-click here, and a whirr-whirr there,
    Here a code, there a node, answers everywhere!
    Humans blinked and shook their heads, A.I.-A.I.-Oh!
    Let the AI take the lead instead, A.I.-A.I.-Oh!

    Write me a poem to the tune of Old MacDonald’s Farm with the refrain part being a.i.-a.i-oh! and using the highlighted text to point out that humans are not capable of analysing big data in the way AI can.
