Of You



The lovely smell of spring
Reminds me of You.

The cheerful vibrancy of flowers
Reminds me of Your smile.

And the fervor of colors
Reminds me of the way Your eyes sparkle
When you speak.

The vividity of the evening sky
Reminds me of Your amused expression
Responding to the silliest of things.

Every single aspect of the cosmos
Reminds me... of You.

AI and the Human Aspect

We are losing the human aspect. This is the rise of the machines.. not some android (not the OS, though it's no different) rising and kiling humans.

The machines here are kiling the human aspect so skillfully that we are not even aware of it. Use machines. That's okay. But letting the machines use you while you think that you are using them is not (as per me).

We let go of the letters... the handwritten ones. Fine. Atleast email was there. We were using machines to send it. But we were the ones that wrote it. So, we had some creative bits left in us. Now, we are using machines to write mails for us. Not even the words are ours.

Traveling. We used to travel on our own accord. We used to decide the places, we used to plan how to travel, we used to ask people about review of a place (though using machines). But we planned 
everything there. Now,  we don't even have the zeal to decide that. Ask the machine and it will tell you which city and which all places in the city to visit, where to eat, everything. Do we have no personal preference? I mean use the machine to get information and add your own imagination.. the human aspect to make a plan that is specific to you.

Writing. Even that! Machines are writing poems and stories. How will a machine feel the warmth of the sun, the freshness of a cool ocean breeze? How will it experience the magic of love or the sorrow of a broken heart? (And goodness forbid.. if a machine actually starts feeling it, that will be the end of the humans as we know now.)
How will it experience the magic of love or the sorrow of a broken heart?
Are we ready to devoid ourselves of even the emotions and feelings? Are we ready to lose the human in us? Are we going to let the machines decide and choose everything for us? If yes, then who actually is a machine? The system that humans built to act as tools... or us humans, the organisms who are slowly turning into tin hollow dolls?

P.S. I am a human. And I am not going to add "I am not a robot" checkbox to prove myself to a machine (Just saying... I know why it has become necessary). 

Machines, I am not against you. I support you. That's why I want us humans to stop morphing into machines.

P.P.S. These are my feelings which comes from one perspective. Everyone will have their own perspective and hence, may feel differently about the same. I understand your take on it. Please feel free to voice your opinion.

About Me

My photo
As a blogger, one of the things I am often asked is "How/ When did you get started with all this?" For as long as my memory takes me back, I have always found myself pondering about a plethora of things. I have always loved reflecting on the small but wonderful aspects of life. Ipsita Contemplates has been very special and I love to get the opportunity to share my musings, my thoughts, and my perceptions with you. It is also a way to appreciate the essence of Life!
