ViennaCC "AI Knows Better" - official music video
The Song
"AI Knows Better" by ViennaCC is a midtempo pop/rock song that tackles the prevalent theme of artificial intelligence in a humorous and engaging manner. The track features industrial sounds that evoke the presence of a machine, while the expressive vocal style, typical of ViennaCC, add depth and personality to the song. The chorus humorously suggests that AI is superior to humans and hints at a future where machines take over the world.
The song is structured around three verses, each depicting a scenario where humans falter and AI excels. In the first verse, the narrator attempts to write a love letter, only to be outdone by a cold, calculating machine. The second verse sees the narrator trying to immitate Van Gogh, only for the AI to critique his artistic talent. In the third verse, the narrator's programming skills are put to the test, and once again, the machine proves to be more competent.
ViennaCC's use of a robotic voice at the end of each verse adds a unique touch to the song, emphasizing the contrast between human effort and machine efficiency. The bridge questions the nature of creativity and whether a heart made of circuits can ever truly be whole, adding a philosophical layer to the song's light-hearted tone.
Overall, "AI Knows Better" is a clever and entertaining take on the growing presence of AI in our lives, blending humor, music, and thought-provoking lyrics in a way that only ViennaCC can.
