3:39 – Just in time for Halloween, a song partially inspired by the Frankenstein story, done in the style of a Broadway musical.
[Verse]
A horde of screaming Luddites
Come streaming up the hill
Their torches shine like floodlights
Their pitchforks aim to kill
With torches and with pitchforks
Their ranks go marching by
They’re coming for the rich folks
Developing A.I.
[Chorus]
These friends of Ludd
Are out for blood
And blood is in their eyes
This sabot squad
Will sabotage
The looming threat, A.I.
[Verse]
These Luddites are so fearful
They fear all things to come
They’re giving us an earful
But what they say is dumb
They’re fearful for their hobbies
They’re fearful for their jobs
And so they’re forming lobbies
And so they’re forming mobs
[Chorus]
These friends of Ludd
Are out for blood
And blood is in their eyes
This sabot squad
Will sabotage
The looming threat, A.I.
[Bridge]
But if A.I. is a monster
It’s due to how it’s trained
And since it’s trained by humans
Its flaws come from their brains
And since the brains of humans
Are mostly brains of fools
How can we blame the monsters?
A.I.’s are only tools!
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse]
A horde of sabotagers
Come streaming up the hill
A bunch of stupid codgers
Whose object is to kill
They’re whipped into a frenzy
There’s fire in their eyes
They’re fired up by the whimsy
Of dangerous A.I.
[Chorus]
These friends of Ludd
Are out for blood
And blood is in their eyes
This sabot squad
Will sabotage
The looming threat, A.I.
