It’s wild. I remember in the past before AI you could Google song lyrics and meanings and get actual decent articles written by critics, and discussion websites/forums with comments written by actual people. Nowadays you do the same thing, and you get a ton of AI written articles that are often completely wrong because they don’t understand context. For instance, in rastafarian music or music that takes inspiration from reggae, “Babylon” is used to refer to the capitalist, colonialist, consumerist, materi western world. AI articles will give you biblical references to Revelations devoid of this context. If they give you any interpretation at all!
Here’s an example I got from an AI article that is completely wrong.
Lyrics:
“Go ahead put your red dress on
Days of white robes have come and gone
Come and gone
Oh you rivers, oh you waters run
Come bear witness to the Whore of Babylon”
What the article states:
The imagery of changing attire symbolizes a shift in power dynamics and societal norms, urging listeners to confront change and embrace authenticity.
The AI can’t even figure out that white robes refers to the KKK, or that the whole thing is an ironic/sarcastic quip making fun of the idea that racism has ended. It can’t even tie it back to “Babylon”. It does not understand what is happening at a fundamental level.
