Wow. I have not done this in so
long. Why am I still be doing this? Nobody is paying me for it.
Then, why?
I gave it a lot of thought. I
mulled over it. What do we do, now that we don't have to anymore? Everything is
already being done by the Artificial Intelligent beings. It has been so for the
past eight years, every job, every conceivable vocation, sans human participation in their now-obsolete job positions. We
are free. Free of the mundane, everyday reality of a nine-to-five desk job,
free of the constraints of targets and deadlines, free to live.
What is this that I am
feeling now, then?
I used to write. I wrote a
lot more than I can remember now. Writing was my passion. And the best part was
that my job necessitated that I retain this skill of mine. I made a living, an
enjoyable living, writing and writing and writing. It was a great time.
When they were incorporated
into the job market, though, they did not need me to write for them anymore,
the Intelligent Agent could do it better, and much faster. They did not need
anyone to supervise, because the Intelligent Agent did it better, much faster.
Essentially, humans were not required to work anymore, because they were too
inefficient, too slow.
I stopped writing. I had no
incentive.
But, this morning, this
glorious morning, it came back. I felt it surge through me, the drive to put
thought to form, strokes to meaning, feeling to being. And now, I write.
I am not the only one. There
are days I see Mrs. Samarah next door still doing her accounts herself. Mr.
Florentine prefers to continue to ten to his garden himself. The antique
General Major down the corridor still teaches his children about the army, even
though it has been a largely peaceful time, the time that we live in. Outside
us, but no so much inside.
We still seek the stimulation
of having had something to do.
And so, we persist. They can
not take that away from us.
We are humans.
The Artificial Intelligent
Agent sends a 'thought' for confirmation to the other one outside
it?/him?/her?/them?, around it?/him?/her?/them?, within it?/him?/her?/them?.
<<I know this should
suffice. My task of writing an essay about the human sorrow that came with our
advent is complete!!!>>
