A poem using only git commands (it did try to cat this to a file at first)
Git clone, my heart will follow
Git add, let’s make this love last
Git commit, I’ll always be true
Git push, let’s make this official
Git branch, let’s take this to the next level
Git merge, our love will grow stronger
Git checkout, let’s explore new adventures
Git stash, let’s keep our secrets safe
Git pull, let’s stay connected
Git status, our love is thriving
Git log, let’s cherish every moment
Git reset, let’s start anew
Git tag, let’s mark this special occasion
Git remote, let’s spread the love
Git fetch, let’s keep our love fresh
Git reflog, let’s remember this forever.
I use my computer, and type in a command
I press enter, and watch it expand
ls will list all the files, in a directory
cd will change the directory, with flexibility
touch will create a new file, with a simple name
rm will delete it, with no one to blame
mv will move it, to a new location
cp will copy it, for duplication
chmod will change the permissions, for security
grep will search for a pattern, with ease and agility
These are just a few, of the many commands
That I use everyday, with my computer in hand.
There's nothing more terrifying to me than those arbitrary poems everyone makes it write. Because these clearly show without a shadow of doubt, that it didn't simply "splice together half a dozen Wikipedia articles."
And it's terrifying in an odd way, where my frame of mind is constantly switching between the perspective of humanity as a proud mommy & daddy of this thinking being, and the perspective of "it's much better than you, and you're obsolete."
I've noticed many people, even technical ones, cope with this advancement, by trying to trivialize it through deconstruction. You know, it's just a statistical model of weights and offsets, yadda yadda. I know how Transformers like GPT work, and neural networks in general. But it's like knowing you're made of molecules and cells. Or like saying "brains are just meat". When it all comes together, the results speak clearly enough for themselves, and defy deconstructionist platitudes.
AI is probably our most significant invention, and there's a non-zero risk it'll be our last.
