A computer is only as smart or skillful as it’s programmers.

Well, the programmers can certainly program in sophisticated algorithms that they themselves couldn't process, so in that respect the AI machine is smarter.

I imagine the poem excerpted below has probably been removed from any modern day curriculum, but I remember it from the late 60's.

John Henry by Anonymous.

When John Henry was a little tiny baby
Sitting on his mama's knee,
He picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel
Saying, "Hammer's going to be the death of me, Lord, Lord,
Hammer's going to be the death of me."
.
.
.
John Henry hammered on the right-hand side.
Steam drill kept driving on the left.
John Henry beat that steam drill down.
But he hammered his poor heart to death, Lord, Lord,
He hammered his poor heart to death.

Well, they carried John Henry down the tunnel
And they laid his body in the sand.
Now every woman riding on a C and O train
Says, "There lies my steel-driving man, Lord, Lord,
There lies my steel-driving man."
