Amid heated public debates amidst the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence in daily routines, the Latin Grammy-winning pop artist Camilo cautions people about depending too heavily on a single AI system, specifically ChatGPT.
On June 25, the Colombian singer-songwriter dropped "Maldito ChatGPT," an electro-pop track produced by Trooko. The song humorously examines AI’s influence on human relationships. In the lyrics, he turns to the ChatGPT bot seeking guidance about his romantic issues. According to the bot, "'You're not for me,' it said with certainty; 'it understands you more clearly than you do yourself.'"
The new music video Directed by Camilo’s wife,Evaluna Montaner, and Sebastian Andrade, it similarly critiques this "intelligent" tech. The scene takes place in a poorly lit office filled with Post-it notes and papers strewn around the workstations, echoing the visual style of the 1999 cult classic movie "Office Space."
Dressed in complete business attire except for his shoes, Camilo grapples with his relationship, feeling helpless about deciding whether to continue staying together. He agitates a Magic 8 Ball, rifles through a paper fortune-teller toy, and plucks petals off a daisy one by one. Ultimately, an indistinct robotic voice declares that the disparities between him and his partner could lead to problems down the road. "You should be in a partnership where you experience perfect harmony," states the mechanical voice.
When asked about his feelings, Camilo responds with: "Absolutely terrible, man. How do you expect me to feel?"
"Cursed ChatGPT" serves as an apt reaction to the escalating presence of artificial intelligence in individuals' private spheres. The ChatGPT platform has introduced a dedicated bot aimed at providing relationship guidance, which provides mixed results for humans; an early study MIT’s Media Lab has connected extensive usage of ChatGPT to an increase in loneliness And emotional dependency, although the findings haven't been peer-reviewed yet.
The platform has also sparked recent ethical debates in the media. Last month, CBS News spoke with an American man about these issues. suggested marriage to an AI chatbot he developed flirtatious replies—despite coexisting with his fully human companion and their two-year-old offspring. educators have expressed concerns about their students using ChatGPT to complete assignments, thus hindering their ability to develop core skills. Meanwhile, OpenAI, ChatGPT's parent company, has become so influential among humans that it landed a $200 million deal with the Department of Defense To assist with "missions related to national security."
As people keep interacting with these advanced AI systems without any restrictions, what concerns Camilo the most is delegating emotional decisions to technology. "Despite all the calculations involved, making choices driven by emotion stays a bold move," stated Camilo publicly.
"We find ourselves constantly bombarded with rapid responses," he went on to explain. Instagram Through formulas meant to prevent failure, through technologies that foresee and understand every detail, and through concepts of how love should appear," he elaborated. "Yet there remains an element that defies all reasoning or criteria." Camilo chimed in, "Love isn't auditions; it's not something we merely experience externally. Instead, it's a feeling deep within us, and nobody nor anything else can embody this sentiment for us.
