Liner Notes

Hey, everybody!!! It's good to be back. I'm late to my uploads and I missed a day, but I'm looking forward to this challenge and to hearing everybody's songs!

This is "Count the Fingers," a song about my (very, very strong) feelings regarding AI plagiarism.

Lyrics

Count the fingers on their hands
And peel your eyes for the sheen of it
Oh, I know you didn’t mean it
But it’s too late for takebacks
They’re already here

They’ve infiltrated the human race
Colonizing in cyberspace
Harder to tell what’s alive or a deepfake
But what’s that matter nowadays?

We brought this on ourselves
Invented living hell
We were goners long before that tower fell

Count the ways they’re overtaking
Listen closely for the sound of it
Our gleaming industry was weak for it
Too late to gatekeep, they came from inside

Hide or fight?
There’s too much at stake
And they cloned all our faces but

We brought this on ourselves
Invented living hell
We knew better, but we went ahead and rang that bell
We were such an easy sell
Our twitches and our tells
We mined too deep, we dried up all the wells

Count the fingers on their hands
And peel your eyes for the sheen of it
Oh, I know you didn’t mean it
But it’s too late for takebacks
They’re already here
