Ai killed Riki Lake
And Montel Williams
Ai killed the king
And it killed my girlfriend
Ai killed everything
Ai even killed me, her me sing
Has Ai killed everything?
Ai's killed the man in me
Ai killed the woman too
Killed the unborn baby
Ai killed the child, their childhood
Free from maybe
No more dreams, only facts
Only possibilities of brass tacks
Realities so virtual, yet outside of my control
Ai has killed the man in me
Ai's robbed me of my soul
No I don't want to get dramatic
I don't want to sound too drole
Because if you know the algorithm
I'm sure it would return what it stole
But once a candle is blown out
It's hard to see in the dark
And this wind of change is blowing without a spark
Are ideas of consciousness even weighed in the scales
Or is all that's on the mind of governments how to make big sales?
What if I told you of the Tolpuddle Martyrs
Or the weavers
Or the Luddites
Who trashed the loom machines
That took their jobs
And kicked them out on the street
In a heartless modernization?
What if progress is no friend to
National spirit or culture or tradition?
What if we sell our souls
At the price of bottom dollar
Just to satisfy big business mission?
Who ever asked me if I want
my child brought up by a robot army
And not a real human being?
Ai's killed everything
And no one even asked me!
Ai killed the man in me
And replaced me with a robot
If they had asked us first, like with GM foods
Where there was moratorium
Maybe we would pause for thought,
a measure of public mood
But as it is the ai has done the thinking
For us, it's told its creator it needs this
It was such a dazzling temptation
An end to all working
No more enslavement
But I still see beggars on the pavement
While Ai's running the government
Ai has killed everything
Ai's killed the man in me
Give me trees, and flowers and nature
Give me a sky and some distance
I need to move my body
And be breathing
Far from these satanic mills
Of mind training
Ai will try to kill everything!
Ai will try to kill the human in you
If you don't watch what it's doing
So maybe we shut just switch off
Let's turn off the machines
And take a walk back in the world
And rediscover what is green
