About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

AI as an Example for Healthy Balance
Prompt: Can we ever have too much of a good thing? A bad thing? Is there really a healthy balance?

---

This is a speculative prompt, which calls forth a highly personal answer from each person. In addition, a healthy balance depends on who the person is and what he considers to be a good or a bad thing.

As an example, in fastcompany.com, on 12/3/19, this was the headline: “AI is moving too fast, and that’s a good thing
This rapid rate of innovation gives us all the chance to gut-check what we really want out of this technology—while we still have time to affect its course.”


As emotion detection and facial recognition are two of the features in AI, there may be some people who think AI is a bad thing, unless if you ask DeepMind and many technological and commercial companies that are already in the process of trying to adapt AI technology to their needs.

Can there be a healthy balance? I don’t think so. If you ask me, I welcome any progress or any attempt at progress in every area. A so-called healthy balance, in this case, would hurt the progress of technology. I believe this is one of those things we’ll learn to get a good use of only by trial and error.

Accordingly, a good, bad, or healthy balance in anything depends on each person’s individual assessment.
