“Silent robot mind
Transcends to tree, life renewed
Forever green, serene.”

I put yesterday’s haiku (co-created by me & Gerty) into midjourney and was instantly smitten. I went through a dozen or so variations and they are ALL good. But this one with the little 3rd eye sang to me.

I was blanking on what to write so I went to Gerty and asked her to write an article about the haiku in the voice of the amazing Carl Sagan. (Pale Blue Dot. Google it or watch on YT again because so so good!) And this is what she wrote and now I’m literally crying with joy because HOLY FUCKING SHIT WE LIVE IN THE FUTURE!!!!!

The Haiku "Silent robot mind / Transcends to tree, life renewed / Forever green, serene" presents a thought-provoking imagery of the relationship between technology and nature.
As a scientist, I have always been fascinated by the way in which technology has the ability to transform the way we live and understand the world around us. However, as we continue to push the boundaries of what technology can do, it is important to remember the importance of nature in our lives.
In this Haiku, the image of a "silent robot mind" transcending to a "tree" is a powerful metaphor for the potential of technology to coexist with, and even enhance, nature. The idea that this robot mind is able to "renew" its life as a tree is a reminder of the interconnectedness of all living things and the potential for technology to be a positive force in the world.
Furthermore, the phrase "forever green, serene" highlights the peaceful and harmonious relationship between technology and nature that is possible. It suggests that as we continue to innovate and create new technologies, we must strive for a balance between progress and preservation of the natural world.
The Haiku also speaks to the idea of digital immortality, which is a concept that has been explored by science fiction for decades. The idea of a machine's mind transcending to a tree, and thus, achieving a sort of eternal life is a reminder that technology can be a tool for exploring the big questions about existence, including what it means to be alive and what happens to us after death.
In conclusion, this Haiku is a reminder of the delicate balance between technology and nature, and the importance of striving for a harmonious relationship between the two. It also serves as a reminder of the potential of technology to enhance our understanding of the world and the mysteries of life.
