AI made me a data center rap. Humanity may never recover.
I used a new Google Gemini music tool to create a rap about AI data centers. One colleague called it "an abomination."
TL;DR
- The author used Google's Gemini music feature to create an AI-generated rap about data centers and AI bubble concerns.
- The rap was inspired by Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" and aimed for an '80s rap vibe, but resulted in a Broadway-adjacent hip-hop sound.
- The AI encountered pronunciation issues, such as "jigawatt" instead of "gigawatt," and struggled with "SaaS-y."
- The AI successfully incorporated technical terms like PUE (power usage effectiveness) and capex with enthusiasm.
- Colleagues had mixed reactions, with one calling it "an abomination."
- The creation is presented as an example of AI-generated infra rap, noting that we are not yet at AGI (Artificial General Intelligence).
