[Verse 1] Visuals flash, but they’re paper-thin How did we get here? Where do I begin? The city hums, but it’s hollow inside Lost in the matrix where ghosts reside Am I real, or just a lie? [Chorus] Aithesia, real or just AI Does it matter what I see Or am I nothing but a memory A whisper left to die Real or just AI? [Verse 2] Shadows dance in a manufactured light Truth and illusion blending out of sight Faces turn, but there’s no soul behind Just lines of code and scripted minds Am I real, or just a lie? [Chorus] Aithesia, real or just AI Does it matter what I see Or am I nothing but a memory A ghost in this digital sky Real or just AI? [Bridge] Thoughts collide in a fractured haze Lost between the dream and the daze The more I feel, the less I know A hollow beat, a hollow glow Does it matter what I see Or am I nothing but a memory? [Chorus - Final] Aithesia, real or just AI Can I trust the steps I take Or are these echoes bound to break Lost in this endless sky Real or just AI? ---------------------------------------- Aithesia is a fusion of "AI" (artificial intelligence) and "aesthesia" (sensation/perception). It refers to a condition where one's sensory experience becomes distorted or altered by AI input, leading to confusion between AI-generated and real experiences. It conveys an unsettling blur between simulation and authenticity. The pronunciation: Aithesia is pronounced /ay-THEE-zhuh/. "Ai" sounds like “ay” as in “day.” "The" sounds like “thee,” with a soft “th” as in “thought.” "Sia" sounds like “zhuh,” similar to the ending in “Asia.” This concept was created by ComaToastedFX on 11/11/2024. ----------------------------------------
