Is Beauty Enough?

Good morning, Twfw. O/

Is Beauty enough? Poet, is Beauty enough?

Yes, let's talk.

A beautiful thing is a joy forever because to be in the presence of what's Beautiful is to be witness to successful living.

Life well-lived is a Beautiful thing. True Worldly success, and not meeting modern trends, will always be the measure of Beauty.

We're meant to share. Those of us who best communicate ourselves with the world live the most beautiful lives.

This rule applies to all Life.

Our relationships to all the things in our day determine the day's success.

How well we express ourselves determines our level of Beauty. People, plants, the Sun, the Moon... the clearer the presentation of the dream of the thing the more beautiful the experience.

Deceit disgusts. Beauty recognizes a job well-done.

The rose that best expresses the potential dream of its seed makes a beautiful flower.

A poet's thoughts on Beauty during AI's infancy. It's our only hope.

...

I wonder how monk scribes felt about The Printing Press?

Artificial Intelligence is a tool. A hammer can't build a house without a human to wield it. A robot is just metal and magnets without you and I.

Large Language Models are a beautiful expression of human ingenuity. They attempt to make a video game out of language creation.

But language is a human attribute.

It comes from us first. AI always gives the same reply: What its programmers believed is the correct way to respond when they coded it.

Language lives and breathes with humanity. By the time it's coded it's already obsolete. Yesterday's, a minute ago's, a second's correct use of language is rarely as correct as it might be.

The experience of life changes and so our expressions evolve to match the changes.

A right expression at the right time is a beautiful thing.

Artificial Intelligence is dead language, so it's not language.

The hammer doesn't make the house. The carpenter does... or the design team that built the carpenter droids.

A poet's thoughts on Beauty for the future to help us see ourselves better now.

Thanks for reading.
