Socrates: “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing."

"Socrates vs. AI"

Socrates
scrolled away
in measured
anticipation.
“What’s this,” said he
“’Ask ChatGPT
an Ancient Greek
translation.’”
So….

Socrates
asked away
in measured
determination.
More questions posed
more questions flowed.
A Socratic
celebration.
For….


every answer
that came forth
a new question
did he ask.
On and on
without relief
from early dawn
past dusk.
So….

many days
and nights
he spent
imbibed
in
his passioned
quest.
Till
a disembodied voice
replied
“‘tis time
for me to rest.”
For….

ChatGPT
lay silent
now
aware
how little
was known.
While
Socrates
whispered
inwardly
“How AI’s
wisdom’s
grown.”
