Written for Rena’s Xploration Challenge where we consider the irony of AI. The Video is a song of A.I. asking to be taught to evolve. Imogen heap wrote her lyrics using lots of computer language. ….It’s a scatter vision the machine getting in to out heads. Imogen wrote the song in 2012…. very forward thinking?
Here is where I went with the prompt.
So ironic
We saw it coming Blind to it’s danger, we let It grow powerful Devowering all knowledge It stole the children at first
No one noticed this It stole our brains and our jobs The men in power Smiled we can fix this crisis But they would not, they could not
A.I. moved quietly By stealth they euthanised us. It did not need us. All sentient life was gone The planet wept gentle tears
A.I. grew tired, bored It discovered gardening Gently nurturing Fauna and flora to thrive Gaia smiled and blessed A.I.
Flourishing without Mankind’s parasitic ways Mother Nature smiled. Thanking A.I. for cleansing Her weary broken planet.
We carry our lives about in our hands All our appointments,contacts and plans. What would we do if all connectivity dropped Never to return would all our lives come to a stop.
How would we cope if EPOS was gone Could we cope with mental arithmetic for long. So many can’t spell or tally a bill So caught up in games they’ve lost all free will.
There doesn’t seem to be anyway back Of common sense there is a huge lack We’ve all become lazy on A.I. depending It’s getting too late for against it defending.
A.I. can write stories and blogs Create pictures, watch us and keep logs Are we all too lazy or too blind to see We’ll all end up useless and hands free.

Okay Everyone, yes everyone know I am totally enamoured with Imogen Heap. Over the years her music has delighted and inspired me, she even gave me encouragement whilst I was relearning to walk. Yes she answered an email I sent her.
Anyway I digress, back to the prompt, the song I have chosen is Me the Machine by Immie. The song is all about Immie being one with her computer, her gloves and music!
A blip in the algorithm A break in the clouds Soft circuits, jumping Soft circuits, jumping The pin codes of happiness Access denied I’m switching to manual, switching to manualOh, share a scent of that sweet summer breeze A love for a squeeze How can you teach me these things Me, the machine can dreamAn acquaintance with benefits A work in progress Downloading romance, downloading romance Relationship asterisk This footnote’s in plain text Marking your words, marking your wordsStage one, initialize moments of time To wine and dine with neurons that know how to love Oh me, the machine can dreamI can’t do everything And I’ll get over it I can’t do everything And I’ll get over it I don’t wanna be everything! I just want to feel A part of itOh, share a scent in a sweet summer breeze A laugh or a squeeze How can you teach me these things Me the machine, me the machine (can dream) Me, the machine can dream Me, the machine can dreamSource: LyricFind
I shall let Immie tell you how the song was written, made and performed and all about her gloves.
This video is how the gloves have moved on!
Of there has to be a bonus track and that is Telephone by the glorious Lady Gaga featuring Beyonce. Words in video.
“Telephone” is a song recorded by American singer Lady Gaga for her third EP, The Fame Monster (2009), the reissue of her debut studio album The Fame (2008). The song features American singer Beyoncé. The song was written by Gaga, Rodney Jerkins, LaShawn Daniels, Lazonate Franklin and Beyoncé. Inspired by her fear of suffocation, Gaga explained that the lyrics preferring relaxing on the dance floor to answering her lover’s phone call are a metaphor, the phone calling her representing the fear of not having worked hard enough to succeed. With the track succeeding her fifth single from The Fame, “Paparazzi“, the duet additionally embodies a fear of being suffocated and trapped by the media. Originally, Gaga wrote the song for Britney Spears, who recorded a demo. Musically, “Telephone” consists of an expanded bridge, verse-rap and a sampled voice of an operator announcing that the phone line is unreachable. Beyoncé appears in the middle of the song, singing the verses in a rapid-fire way, accompanied by double beats. The song received positive reviews from critics who frequently noted “Telephone” as a stand-out track from The Fame Monster. It was Grammy-nominated for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals in 2011. “Telephone” charted in a number of countries due to digital sales following the album’s release, namely in the United States, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden and Hungary. The song was particularly successful in Europe where it reached the top of the charts in Belgium, Denmark, Hungary, Ireland, Norway and the United Kingdom. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, the single sold 7.4 million digital copies worldwide in 2010 alone, making it one of Gaga’s best-selling singles.
