A Mother's Advice!

His father was an engineer,
Who had his own share of fears,
When his son came forward and asked,
What he should choose as his profession,
He replied without any hesitation,
“Choose a thing that machines can't do,
That way you will have your way through!”

The boy then went and asked his teacher,
What he should choose as his profession.
With some idea about the future,
She replied with affection,
“Choose such a profession,
Where AI can have less impact,
Where humanness is intact.”

The Boy at last went to his mother,
She did not consider his question a bother,
He put the valuable question,
What should I choose for my profession?
She replied "Follow your heart!
Whether it's Sport, Science or Art!"

He ended up choosing a profession,
Which was his passion,
AI had an impact,
Machines played it exact,
Professional Chess he choose,
It was Sport, Science and Art,
And a calling from his heart!
