Compare these AI lyrics, which are not a story, but rather a string of statements, to something like Bonnie Raitt's "Just Like That", or Chris Stapleton's "Tennessee Whisky".

AI has some form of control over your life. But what I’ve seen very recently is that people are loosing their ingenuity and deciding to use AI.
