Exponential

Exponential evolution of info,

Don’t call this intelligence artificial

Algorithmical, just let the tech go

Separate the noise from the signal

The first artificial intelligence movement

Started with billions of years of evolution

Cells reproducing, mutations screw things

Up in interesting ways, mostly useless

Random isn’t usually a path to improvement

Scramble a plan and chances you ruin it

With one in a million or two fit to boost it

Natural selection infused the flukes in

It seems smart but it’s not

Blind watchmaker fit the parts in a clock

From a poison dart frog to aardvark to hawk

Keep whatever works and discard what does not

And one of its designs was an organ

A navigator and a calculator of fortune

With a hippocampus, a cerebellum and a cortex

Intelligence as a performance

Exponential evolution of info

Don’t call this intelligence artificial

Algorithmical, just let the tech go

Separate the noise from the signal

Exponential evolution of info

Invisible solutions get exposed

Technophobes watch the benefits flow

Noise to the signal, let’s go

Surrounding every organism is affordances

Opportunities and threats you can avoid if you’re quick

Brains evolved to discover and exploit them

That’s how a living thing flourishes

Affordances, discover the better moves

Diamonds in the rough, find the hidden jewels

To get calories spending minimal joules

Game-changing culture, upgrade the tools

Make the rules transcend the person

A fix on a fix, infinite recursion

From a skin to a pen to a tablet surface

To a microchip computational learning

Interconnectable neural networks

Engaging in a vast unsupervised search

Of a dataset, fine-tune in some quirks

Now hit it with a prime and find if it works

Exponential evolution of info,

Don’t call this intelligence artificial

Algorithmical, just let the tech go

Separate the noise from the signal

Exponential evolution of info

Invisible solutions get exposed

Let the benefits flow to the technophobes

Noise from the signal, let’s go

Affordances around us, evolution found some

By stumbling around with its limited powers

And now networks do the same but they’re boundless

Algorithmically extending outwards

Agents endowed with basic drives

Pattern recognition from people to AIs

Chat CPT-3 look me in the eyes

And explain everything human beings can surmise

And eventually, the network’s gonna be

Programmed to read data sets contextually

With any piece of information fetched for me

Cyborg with machines workin’ next to me

Intelligence finds solutions to problems

Clockin’ odds when opportunity’s knockin’

A process, all in the consequences

So bring in the chips to augment us

Exponential evolution of info,

Don’t call this intelligence artificial

Algorithmical, just let the tech go

Separate the noise from the signal

Exponential evolution of info

Invisible solutions get exposed

Let the benefits flow to the technophobes

Noise from the signal, let’s go
