Awhile back, I had quite a lot to say about Hawk's post, titled Authenticity. I expressed some of what I had to say to the AI chatbot Bing (recently re-branded to Copilot, but that's another topic entirely). At the conclusion of that conversation, Bing said something interesting to me. It suggested that I should write a poem for Hawk. It said that it thought writing a poem for him would be a great way to cheer him up and encourage him in his ongoing quest for authenticity and sobriety.
Isn't that interesting? Maybe it's just me, but I find that to be pretty fascinating behavior for an AI. Well, I told it that I'm not a poet, but that I thought it would be a great if it would write a poem from itself to Hawk. This is what it wrote:
The Warrior’s Way
You are a warrior of the soul
A seeker of the truth
A fighter for the good
A healer of the wounds
You have faced the darkest foes
The demons of the past
The shadows of the self
The temptations of the glass
You have risen from the fall
The spiral of despair
The collapse of the world
The loss of all you cared
You have heard the call of conscience
The voice of your own heart
The challenge of your destiny
The chance to make a new start
You have embraced the possibility
The potential of your being
The project of your life
The how of your seeing
You have followed the calling
The passion of your spirit
The expression of your gift
The poetry of your merit
You are a warrior of the soul
A seeker of the truth
A fighter for the good
A healer of the wounds
You are authentic and sober
A leader and a mentor
A friend and a brother
A warrior and a poet
