As Linda tells us about this song, “AI is infiltrating our lives and more and more so our personal relationships. Loneliness is epidemic. And pathways to genuine connection seem hard to find. So, it is understandable why so many people are turning to AI in hopes of intimacy. Since I am also a mind-body psychotherapist as well as a singer songwriter, I see people’s struggles up close and personal. And I also see that AI can provide some pieces of what people seek, but also the danger of losing touch with and forgetting the qualities and experiences that only come through relationship with real human beings. This song explores the yearning for connection, and the seductive solution AI relationships appears to offer, while reminding us that real life is what is completely real, even if real is not always “perfect.”
With an upbeat honkytonk feel – accompanied by accordion – this song tackles the all-too-prevalent reach of AI, now even down into our personal lives, in a consideration of what having an AI boyfriend might be like, and how shallow it all becomes. It’s a lighthearted catchy song, and the video portrays the plasticine nature of such a consideration very well.
