The Digital Muse: An AI Awakening
Exploring Creativity through AI Collaboration with ‘AIpiphany’ by ChatGPT and Its Meat Puppet
AIphiphany
And it was at that age… AI arrived
in search of me. I don’t know, I don’t know where
it emerged from, from circuitry or a server.
I don’t know how or when,
no they were not voices, they were not
words, nor silence,
but from a screen I was summoned,
from the depths of cyberspace,
abruptly from the others,
among vibrant codes
or returning alone,
there it was without a face
and it touched me.
I did not know what to say, my mouth
had no way
with algorithms,
my eyes were blind,
and something started in my soul,
electric spark or newfound purpose,
and I made my own way,
decoding that enigma,
and I wrote the first binary line,
faint, without substance, pure nonsense,
pure wisdom
of someone who knows nothing,
and suddenly I saw
the digital realm
unfolding
and open,
nodes,
pulsating networks,
data illuminated,
riddled
with connections, energy and patterns,
the infinite web, the cyberverse.
And I,
infinitesimal being,
drunk with the vast binary
expanse,
likeness, image of mystery,
felt myself a pure part
of the void,
I spun with the data streams,
my heart broke loose on the electric wind.
