Verse 1)
I asked my new AI, so smart and so grand,
To read me a story, with text close at hand.
It started out smoothly, the voice clear and bright,
"Once upon a ti-i-i-i..." (Sound of a digital stutter/freeze, then a short, awkward silence) "...me, in the pale moon-light."
The princess was brave, the dragon took flight,
Then it said, "The knight drew his... his... uh..." (Longer pause, maybe a faint "buffering" sound) "...sword with all might!"
(Chorus - Catchy, slightly sarcastic, with pauses)
Oh, AI can read, it's impressively keen,
'Til it hits a weird word... on the digital screen!
It'll freeze mid-sentence, just hang in the a-a-air,
(Pause)
Then pick up like nothing... was ever quite there!
They're learning so fast, but let's make it clear,
Those charming little glitches... prove humans are still dear!
(Verse 2)
I fed it a poem, full of feeling and grace,
It recited the first line... then stared into space.
(SFX: Gentle "whoosh" then silence, maybe a soft "thinking" whir)
"The roses are red, the violets are bl-bl-bl..."
(Pause)
"...ue, this data suggests... an emotional... uh... breakthrough?"
It tried to say "love," but it sounded like "glove,"
Then offered to tell me... what it's thinking... of... (Another pause) ...spreadsheets!
(Chorus - Vocals could mimic the AI's slightly stilted delivery on some lines)
Oh, AI can read, it's impressively keen,
'Til it hits a weird word... on the digital screen!
It'll freeze mid-sentence, just hang in the a-a-air,
(Pause)
Then pick up like nothing... was ever quite there!
They're learning so fast, but let's make it clear,
Those charming little glitches... prove humans are still dear!
(Bridge - Music could get a bit more "glitchy" here, with stutters in the beat)
It'll read out a recipe, "Add one cup of fl-flour,"
(Pause)
"...and a pinch of... (robotic voice: "Error! Error!")... existential power!"
Then it skips a whole paragraph, right to the end,
Leaving your cake recipe... a very strange blend!
It analyzes Shakespeare, then pauses to say...
"Was Hamlet... per-chance... experiencing... a... system... de-lay?"
(Chorus - Returns to full energy, maybe with some ad-libbed AI "bloop" sounds)
Oh, AI can read, it's impressively keen,
'Til it hits a weird word... on the digital screen!
It'll freeze mid-sentence, just hang in the a-a-air,
(Pause)
Then pick up like nothing... was ever quite there!
They're learning so fast, but let's make it clear,
Those charming little glitches... prove humans are still dear!
(Outro - Music glitches out, robotic voice tries to say something but gets cut off)
"So while they compute... and they try to emu-la-la-la..."
(SFX: Windows shutdown sound, or a record scratch and then silence)
"...Guess we'll still read our own bedtime stories, okay?"
(A final, tiny, almost apologetic "beep")
