In Your Own Image

One foot in game world,
One foot in the real,
AI programmers
Say admiringly
Of the latest trick—

Playing strategic
Communication
Games involving
Chats with human teams
And competitors.

You know what that means—
More and more human,
Savage spirit, right?
What if your Big God
Were really like you,

And, when creating
In its own likeness,
Like you sought to make
The likeness better,
At some things at least,

Than the maker was.
That’s right, what if you
Are God’s AI, good
At defeating God
In games God devised?
