Synopsis

Artificial Intelligence and the Decline of Morris Dancing seeks to capture the confusion of evolution that humans are creating with communication and the abrogation of thinking to electronic “brains”. It is iessentially about the English language which, when used correctly, is rich and provides for every expression. Nearly every day a politician, businessman, marketing guru, media reporter or life coach (whatever that is) introduces a new piece of mangled meaningless jargon which becomes first “trendy”, and then, sadly, part of the language. The reference to Morris Dancing simply aims to capture the decline in quaint traditions through the overdominance of virtual reality and alternative and simpler ways. The book is a collection of alternative meanings for words, phrases, proverbs along with some expanded opinions and is aimed to be a tongue in cheek reflection of the misuse of English language and on modern society. The concept is a broad mixture of ideas but based partly on the excellent work by Ambrose Bierce, The Devil’s Dictionary, by the “Uxbridge English Dictionary” game from the popular Radio 4 show “I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue”, and the rest is a melange of other ideas mostly of my own.
There are also several short essays dotted around which aim to take a lighter look at the devolution of society and some aspects of life in general, frequently as . They try to take a realistic look through the thick mists of politics along with business, the financial world, whatever celebrity is, and the fear of the unknown that is Artificial Intelligence.
The individual ideas are mostly my own, but I know that original work is rare, even with Larger Language Apps, and thus where I have borrowed aspects of other people’s work hopefully I fully acknowledge each piece.
