AI Lyric Analysis: “Artificial Intelligence” by Realizing Resonance

I asked OpenAI to analyze the lyrics to a song I wrote. It’s response was perfect!

But first, a little back story. I have a lyric video for this song that I have share with friends last year and while they liked the song, many of them were puzzled about how title—“Artificial Intelligence”—connected to the actual lyrics. I was reluctant to explain my meaning at the time, after all this is art, so I told them it was up to interpretation. It’s incredibly ironic then that AI was able to interpret these lyrics exactly how I intended them when many humans were not. Incredible!

“Artificial Intelligence”

Written by Jared Roy Endicott

Verse 1:

I know what’s real

I touch, I feel

And I am me

I think, I see

I contemplate

I have to concentrate

On this melody

That’s what you don’t see

Chorus:

I’m not artificial

It’s not that simple

I love therefore I am

Verse 2:

And I am free

At least as one can be

My attention

I place on my intention

I deliberate

To affect my fate

I believe

Do you believe?

AI Lyric Analysis from OpenAI Text-Davinci-003

Seemingly addressing the idea of Artificial Intelligence (AI), this song is a reflection on humanity’s ability to feel, think, and love, even amidst a world growing ever-more robotic. The lyrics emphasize the idea that the artificial in life is not as simple as it seems: despite its increasing prevalence, the human capacity to love is still at the heart of the matter. Philosophically, this song challenges the notion that AI might ever achieve full autonomy, as it suggests that there will always be aspects of our lives that are beyond the reach of technology. By declaring that “I love therefore I am,” the song maintains that a commitment to love is what truly defines humanity and our actions.
