Artificial

Artificial is an anti-AI protest song by the American post-grunge band Daughtry. The song was inspired by conversations about AI that lead vocalist Chris Daughtry had with his producers. On the song, he said “‘Artificial’ is about the potential nightmare that AI could become and the idea that everything and everyone could eventually be replaced, essentially to perfection, and rendered obsolete. However, the heart and soul of humanity and the ability to feel love, sadness, and compassion can never be replaced. Read more on Last.fm.
