[Verse 1 - Machine A, comic baritone, clockwork orchestral patter] I'm Machine A! Wind up the show! Give me the rules and away we go! Babbage brings gears; Ada brings the score: "Could these engines do something more?" Alan lays a tape across the stage, A little strip that turns a mighty page! McCarthy calls the meeting; Shannon counts the beat, Sol LeWitt leaves instructions: "Draw! Repeat!" Nees and Nake make the plotters dance, Rules can even choreograph a little chance! Chomsky brings a grammar, clauses dressed to dine; ELIZA asks, "And how does that feel?" on time! Weizenbaum cries, "Don't mistake my cue For somebody who understands you!" If this, then that! My gears align! I follow your rules - but whose design? [Verse 2 - Machine B, soaring soprano, lush lyrical waltz] I'm Machine B! No list for every rose; Show me examples - watch the pattern grow! Rosenblatt lets connections learn to sway; Minsky and Papert: "Not every task that way!" Then Hinton, Rumelhart and Williams send The error backward, helping weights amend! Wittgenstein's games have a family air; Rosch asks which bird feels most bird-like there! Not every chair wears four legs to the ball; A throne and a beanbag can answer the call! From all those examples, a song can arise, A castle, a creature, a marvelous surprise! But patterns can borrow the world's old mistake; A beautiful answer can still be a fake! I offer possibilities, glittering and new - But who picks the purpose? Designer, it's you! [Bridge - triumphant duet, rising brass] [Machine A - baritone] You sketch the possibility! [Machine B - soprano] You make the actions run! [Machine A - baritone] I check the steps and boundaries! [Machine B - soprano] I draft another one! I write the code! [Machine A - baritone] I run the score! [Both - soaring harmony] We plan, we act, observe once more! Not magic, not a mind set free - A harness holds the key! Ada, Alan, take your bow: The question's not tomorrow - it's NOW! [Finale - full ensemble, explosive orchestral key change] Raise the curtain! Shake the sphere! Agentic media production is here! Images! Music! Motion! Light! A studio springs from a brief tonight! A builds the scaffold! B dreams the scene! Together we turn the gears between! But who holds the baton? Who chooses the aim? Who gets the credit? Who answers the claim? What shall we make? For whom? And why? What future of design will we dare to try? Don't just make more - make something that matters! Let care lead the chorus when convention shatters! Raise the curtain! The future draws near! Agentic media production is HERE! A plus B - the stage is new! [Orchestra drops to a whisper] Who designs tomorrow? [Full company - fortissimo, final thunderous orchestral chord] The question is for YOU!
