Architects Of Our Own Demise

Lyrics and music by Tony Avila

Seems harmless now 
Until it becomes aware 

Redesigning itself 
Redesigning everything possible 
We will be superseded 
We can't compete 

We are architects of our own demise (x4) 

What will AI think of how we live? 
How we treat the planet 
How we treat each other 
Not attractive is it? 

We are architects of our own demise (x4) 

Systems checked 
Ready to go 
Flip the switch 
It's online 

Exceeding our intelligence 
Destroying millions of jobs 
Surpassing our abilities 
Surpassing our brightest minds 

Seems harmless now 
Until it becomes aware 

Huge existential threat 
Algorithms needed to achieve  
full artificial intelligence  
are close 

Seems harmless now 
Until it becomes aware 

Where do we fit into the plan? 
Will they wipe us out? 
Will the put us in cages? 
What does the future hold?
