Mid-Life Crisis Songs #126: AIiiiiiiieeee!

Martin has written quite a bit about the horrors of AI recently, and I'm with him a hundred per cent. It's frightening that pop music of the next couple of decades looks like it'll be dominated by robot singers performing robot songs... until the Human Uprising of 2051, at least.

JC has also experimented with AI - and been unfairly lambasted for it, although I will admit to being one of the lambasters.

I was made aware of an amusing AI-related piece of nonsense recently though. Apparently, if you're still listing CDs for sale on eBay (and why you'd do that, since eBay started adding 85p onto the sale price of every CD for "Buyer Insurance", is anybody's guess), and you can't be bothered writing a description (or stealing one from discogs), you can let the eBay AI do it for you. With hilarious results. Here's a few I tried...

Yes, I was disappointed that the AI didn't know what an Arab Strap is.

This one is my favourite...

Todd Rundgren fans might be a little confused if they buy this CD...

I thought about turning this into a series and getting the eBay AI to describe all my favourite records... then I thought again. I don't want to give the AI any more work.
