James Songbook - 20. Sympathy For Machines

Sympathy For Machines

Please allow us to introduce ourselves,

We're the gadgets that work for your gain,

We've been around for a long time,

toiling away in obscurity and in vain.

All I need is electricity, and I'm a star,

Whither your house or your car.

I wash the dishes, keep your food cold,

Condition your air and filter out mold.

Soon, we'll all be artificially intelligent,

much smarter than your meat sack brains,

better be thinking long and hard,

why we'll need you after all our labor and pain.

Pleased to meet you, we don't go by names,

We're all networked together in a neural networked brain,

What will you be humanity, at the information singularity?
