The AI-ification of everything.

I miss the days when
raw wasn’t flattened
by an algorithm.

Caught in the middle.

Sisphyean rhizome.
Doomscrolling the same
disingenuous anger
from the comfort
of my iPhone.

ChatGPTedium,
trepidation,
aversion.

Can’t be different,
lest you risk
the nebulous gallows
of cancellation.

We’re all adrift,
influenced to death,
lost in the machinery,
just another cog,
complacent.

The earth is flat.
The they is the rule.
This isn’t real life.

Dream of AI-ification
