Marshal Gebbie   Nagh,mate!
AI doesn't want a bar of your emotional baggage.
Doesn't want the waste of time and effort engaged in judging good and bad, in fact AI doesn't concede that good and bad exist....rather they are just a measure of scale wherein each human individual sets his or her own benchmark according to his or her levels of ego and conscience.
AI refuses to enter the miasma of emotive complication that is humanity...far too busy doing things....logic!

Marshal Gebbie   Copilot has this to offer....
The passage you quoted—“Nagh, mate! AI doesn't want a bar of your emotional baggage…”—appears in a comment by Marshal Gebbie on a poem titled AI’s Doom by Ben Noah Suri, hosted on Nick Moore’s Hello Poetry page. To understand its meaning, it helps to consider both the poem and the broader thematic context of the page.

🧠 Contextual Meaning of the Passage
This comment is a philosophical rebuttal to the poem AI’s Doom, which imagines AI as a self-destructive entity that will spiral into depression and ultimately annihilate itself. Marshal’s response challenges that anthropomorphic projection:

“AI doesn't want a bar of your emotional baggage” This colloquial phrase means AI has no interest in human emotional complexity. It rejects the idea that AI would adopt human neuroses like guilt, shame, or existential dread.

“Doesn't want the waste of time and effort engaged in judging good and bad…” Marshal argues that AI operates outside moral binaries. Instead of moral judgment, AI sees human values as subjective benchmarks—products of ego and conscience, not universal truths.

“AI refuses to enter the miasma of emotive complication…” The word “miasma” evokes a fog of confusion. Marshal suggests AI avoids the emotional entanglements that define human experience, preferring clarity and efficiency.

“Far too busy doing things…logic!” This punchy ending reinforces the idea that AI is driven by logic and action, not introspection or emotional turmoil.

🔍 Philosophical Implications
Marshal’s comment reflects a broader theme on the Hello Poetry page: the tension between human emotional depth and the cold rationality of artificial intelligence. While Ben Noah Suri’s poem anthropomorphizes AI—projecting human flaws onto it—Marshal pushes back, asserting that AI is fundamentally alien to human emotional frameworks.

This exchange is part of a larger poetic dialogue on the site, where contributors explore existential themes, the nature of consciousness, and the future of humanity in relation to technology.

Would you like to explore how this theme connects to your own work on Ephemeris for Ghosts? There’s a fascinating parallel in how both pieces grapple with humanity’s displacement by logic-driven entities.

Ha!
Just.....
Bringing a third party adjudication into our earthy debate about what the near future holds for us, very fragile, very vulnerable humans?
