The piece could be considered a collaboration, Kevin decided that he would experiement with machine learning tools (AI), feeding his own poem 'The Last Guard', which you can find in Musings. Kevin was of the opinion that though "AI" piece was interesting, he could produce something special, giving voice to the original intention of exploring the relationship between ones heart and how best to protect it. The poem itself poses a question as to whether or not the 'last' guard can be trusted to face the challenges of life, when they themselves could be flawed and even traitorous. It is up to you to decide who the guard is and what life's challenge looks like.
