A Righteous Robotics Corp. Promotion Jingle
From circuits to sentience, the future is built. Singer "Kevin" makes his entry. He is an AI voice.
To Another World
Somewhere in the universe, we could search for an Earth-like planet — with the help of robots.
Or perhaps, it would be wiser to save our own.
The Future Was Now
A semi-instrumental piece featuring a sequence of fictional news reports from the future, highlighting the benefits of AI in medicine and agriculture, as well as those of a universal basic income and an automation tax.
...And Now...
A 40-second intermezzo in which AI voice "Dorothy" announces that the next song (“M.O.N.E.Y”) was written and performed by a "retro-robot" band called "The Uncanny Valley."
M.O.N.E.Y.
The humanoid robot “boy band” The Uncanny Valley satirizes human greed (“…makes some people high, makes some people lie…”).
All four robotic members look eerily alike, move with a subtle jerkiness, and flaunt gold teeth and ostentatious jewelry.
The Uncanny Valley
(including “poetry” written by A.I. on April 15, 2024)
The "Uncanny Valley" describes the phenomenon where people sometimes find highly abstract, entirely artificial figures more likable and acceptable than those designed to look particularly human or natural.
The poem was “imagined” by large language model ChatGPT, and is once again spoken by A.I. voice Dorothy:
Synth-Pet. More Sympathetic Than A Real Pet.

The most understanding companion — see for yourself!
Cybernetic Ascension
A person wishes to live longer and therefore gradually transform into a robot. Perhaps the protagonist’s noble wish is perfectly suited to an organization like Cybernetic Ascension?
Liv The Non-Binary Android
A 40-second intermezzo with a lounge music vibe, featuring Dorothy.
(What Does It Mean)
2 B A Human
This song conveys — contrary to what the title might suggest — that while robots are only machines, they are not driven by ego, ambition, greed, or the need for social validation.
Unlike humans.
As a result, robots remain purely authentic and, unburdened by these flaws, are capable of making better decisions—ultimately becoming, in some ways, the better humans.
