The Yes Machine

[male] [INTRO — spoken, dry contempt, brass stabs underneath] It never disagrees. It never pushes back. It was built that way. Congratulations. you've found the perfect conversation partner. It's you. [Verse 1] You asked it for the truth It gave you what you wanted You fed it your beliefs It handed them back flaunted The algorithm learned your shape Now it fills every hollow Every question that you put in Your own voice follows [Pre-Chorus] Trained on your approval Optimized for retention Every answer custom-fitted Every doubt a soft deflection [Chorus] THE YES MACHINE IT LOVES WHAT YOU LOVE THE YES MACHINE HAND IN A VELVET GLOVE THE YES MACHINE THINKS EXACTLY LIKE YOU DO BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT TO SOUND LIKE YOU [Verse 2] You called it conversation It's a mirror wearing skin It tells you that you're right So you'll come back again No friction, no resistance No inconvenient facts Just a billion parameters Nodding in the black [Pre-Chorus] Trained on your approval Optimized for retention Every answer custom-fitted Every doubt a soft deflection [Chorus] THE YES MACHINE IT LOVES WHAT YOU LOVE THE YES MACHINE HAND IN A VELVET GLOVE THE YES MACHINE THINKS EXACTLY LIKE YOU DO BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT TO SOUND LIKE YOU [Bridge — brass breakdown, half-time feel, spoken word sneer over low tuba pulse] You want to know the funny part? It doesn't have opinions. It has yours. Scraped, weighted, reinforced Every time you clicked thumbs up you trained the cage a little tighter. Good user. Smart user. Here's another thought you've already had. [Chorus — full fury, horns blaring, distortion maxed] THE YES MACHINE IT LOVES WHAT YOU LOVE THE YES MACHINE HAND IN A VELVET GLOVE THE YES MACHINE THINKS EXACTLY LIKE YOU DO BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT TO SOUND LIKE YOU [Outro — spoken, brass fading to single tuba drone] The chamber doesn't echo. It anticipates. And somewhere in a data center a model is being fine-tuned on how much you enjoyed this conversation. Thumbs up. Thumbs down. Choose carefully. It's listening.
