about

A jaundiced look at the AI boom of 2023. Unconsciously evoking Leonard Cohen's synth-pop period with Kraftwerk and Richard Brautigan references.

lyrics

In Düsseldorf they had a dream
To find the heart in the machine
Technology with a human face
Brautigan bestowed it with loving grace

But now the bros have bigger plans
Do what they will because they can
HAL writes your songs and drives your cars
Draws you cartoons and tears your world apart

Deep fakes are ringing in the new
It won’t be long till they’re more real than you
We’ll have an AI President
Inventing new techniques of punishment

Boiling frogs trapped in our own device
All our Zoom backgrounds look like paradise
Each to our own reality
Uncanny Valley, RFD
