Canticle of the Sun of Saint Francis of Assisi by Tony Duquette

                                                                    his aunt worked there as a docent

she told him it had burned down

he was unfamiliar with the man or the installation

he asked a simple question of Google

                                        when did the Canticle of the Sun of Saint Francis of Assisi burn down

perhaps he should have mentioned San Francisco

despite the reams and reams of training data AI Overview had inhaled stored had accessed

IT replied

            “The Canticle of the Sun (or Creatures)(?) by (of – pay attention creep) Saint Francis of Assisi never ‘burned down’ because it's a poem, not a physical building or manuscript that was destroyed; it was written around 1224-1225, a pivotal spiritual work praising creation, and while its original text isn't physically preserved, its message endures through copies and inspired Pope Francis's encyclical Laudato Si’.”

   admittedly

                   he relishes AI errors

has no pity for those who hang their hats on ITs words

                                                           Do you understand suspect  suspicion

Do you cross reference do you research investigate

Do you haplesslywretchedly take IT at ITs word

Man, your problem, you’re obsessed, fuckin’ Luddite, need to come into the future or be left behind.

Go  I have plenty of company

                                  Ill relate to my books my life experiences  my exquisite memory

 

Like Duquette who was alive when his installation burned down witnessed it  he was reminded of Jack London when Wolf House was razed by some unknown everundiscovered arsonist

“I would rather be the man whose house burned than the man who burned it.” 

he couldnt imagine the heartbreak both men were forced to endure

    although  all systems end
