Dylan’s spirit, forever we’ll keep… in this anthem for change by a robotic creep

I’ve protested about Artificial Intelligence ever since our barmy army of boffins came up with this real no-brainer threat to our civilisation.

And, as Dylan almost said…

Come gather ’round people wherever you moan
And admit that the robots around you have grown
And accept it that soon you’ll be turned to a clone
 – If your time to you is worth savin’
Then you better start clickin’ or you’ll sink like a drone
For the times, they are a-changin’

Dylan is one of history’s greatest songwriters, so, for some reason, recently it was decided to see if Artificial Intelligence could do it any better.

Yep, science decided to see if we needed Dylan to write incisive, powerful, emotional and thought-provoking lyrics anymore – or could we get a robot to do it for far less?

And this is what the new trundling troubadour of poetry, the artificial intelligence chatbot, ChatGPT, came up with:

ECHOES OF CHANGE

In a world spinning out of control
Where the powers that be have taken their toll
It’s time to rise, let our voices be heard
For justice and truth, let our spirits converge

(Chorus)
Echoes of change, they’re calling out loud
In every street, in every crowd
Together we stand, united we fight
For a better tomorrow, we shine our light

And then unbelievably the folk-less, tone-less, note-less, brain-less buffoon of our modern world came up with this sanctimonious, syrupy, sucking-up stupidity …

Let these words echo through the night
A beacon of hope, a guiding light
Bob Dylan’s spirit, forever we’ll keep
In this anthem for change, the flame runs deep

Surely, they would better read

Let these words echo through the sh*te

A beacon of hope or a guiding blight?
Bob Dylan’s spirit, forever we’ll keep
In this anthem for change, written by a robotic creep
