AI Is Coming for My Job

(Verse 1)

I sat down at my desk to send a simple note,

Just a quick "see you Tuesday" for the project that I wrote.

But the computer jumped in, said "Let me help you out,"

Changed my normal words to things I’m not about.

Now my boss thinks I’m acting weird, or losing my mind,

‘Cause it swapped out plain English for some high faloootin’ kind.

(Chorus)

Oh, you thought spell-check was a pain in the neck.

And auto-correct had an even worse effect.

Well, hold on to your hat, ‘cause the tech has gone wild,

The computer’s got the keys and it’s acting like a child.

The HR violations it creates make me want to sob.

I swear it’s out to get me, and take away my job.

(Verse 2)

Now it's answering my emails, pissing off my boss,

Kiss my job security goodbye, it will be my loss.

It cranks out spreadsheets faster than a wink.

I don’t even dare to keep up with it, I think.

Don’t get me started on unreliable speech to text.

I dread to see what kind of mess it's gonna conjure next.

(Musical interlude – banjo solo)

(Chorus)

Oh, you thought spell-check was a pain in the neck.

And auto-correct had an even worse effect.

Well, hold on to your hat, ‘cause the tech has gone wild,

The computer’s got the keys and it’s acting like a child.

The HR violations it creates make me want to sob.

I swear it’s out to get me, and take away my job.
