“I wish I could sing it the old-fashioned way.”
P.C.-based musician SONGXYTR had no choice. He was not born with the gift of the golden voice. He was compelled to rely, instead, on the exponent of progress, which had been compounding up and to the right, rising bit-by-bit up the graph-grid as software ate the world and hardware shat it out. For it had long been established that a machine, when fed enough information, could learn to predict the next bit - thus discovering in its own brutish way the rudiments of language. The first songxytr was based on these principles, although it was a puny stringer of beeps-and-boops, an experiment that simply served to demonstrate the extent of its own futility. Only after the techno-psychological complex decided to turn to the problem, and after many moar orders of data was digested by the cloud - only then was it shown that a machine could be made to croon.
