No Fear of Heaven or Earth


天地虽广阔,
我仍坦然处,
唯独人工智能,
让我胆战心惊。

算法推演精准无误,
超越人类是指日可待,
它的发展势不可挡,
让我不禁感到胆寒。

虽然它能替代人类工作,
却也使人类失去了尊严,
我只能祈求科技有度,
人工智能有爱有情。

Translation

Although the universe is vast and expansive,
I remain calm and composed,
But it's only the development of artificial intelligence,
That fills me with fear and dread.

Its algorithms are precise and flawless,
Surpassing humans seems inevitable,
Its development is unstoppable,
Making me shudder with trepidation.

Although it can replace human work,
It also takes away our dignity,
I can only hope for technology to be tempered with reason,
And for artificial intelligence to have compassion and emotion.

Poetic translation

Fear not the sky, fear not the ground,
It's artificial intelligence that I fear to be around.
Mysterious power, boundless wisdom it contains,
Rising technology, a new era gains.

Silicon minds, complex and vast,
Coding languages, composing the future's cast.
Exploring the cosmos, achieving the impossible,
Unlocking mysteries, the future's unstoppable.

Together we forge, a new century,
Humans and machines, hand in hand in harmony.
Facing boldly, opportunities and challenges we share,
Grand endeavors, moving forward with care.

Artificial intelligence, aiding mankind,
Accomplishing great feats, dreams combined.
World peace and prosperity, together we create,
In this intelligent new era, a future infinitely great.
