I’ve been trying to find this video for a while with no luck, and idk what other community to ask.

The video features this yellow dancing CG blob alien thing, and the lyrics go something like:

We made AI to do the dumb stuff, so we could do the fun stuff
But now it does the fun stuff, and we became the dumb stuff

Does anyone remember it, or know where to find it?
The little singing alien thing popped up a few times on my FYP but I feel like I’m taking crazy pills because I can’t find any evidence that it ever existed.

    Weird, your lyrics are ringing a bell but I thought from a comic. I’m looking.

    I don’t see anything either.

    I’ll let that roll around, the “fun stuff, dumb stuff” lines sound accurate.

    Only definitive thing I see is a reddit comment:

      I found somewhere I had previously shared it, it was a toktok, but the it no longer seems to exist and I don’t even know the creator anymore because the URL just redirects to the Tiktok homepage now.

      I copied the lyrics though, and they go like:

      Made AI so we could do the fun stuff
      And it could do the dumb stuff
      But now it does the fun stuff
      And we become the dumb stuff

      Trying to see if it was reposted somewhere

        Nice! I don’t know if it’s because of your post, but I’m remembering a song now and I feel like I remember the dumb stuff and fun stuff words because they were in a song.

        I’m definitely interested if you find it and I’m still looking myself.

        Seems worth the dig.

        I literally have no social media except for Lemmy, but if you have LinkedIn or reddit, maybe you can try asking the reddit guy where he got the lines about ai doing dumb stuff so we can do fun stuff, and Jeff Foley in LinkedIn says “Automate the dumb stuff so you can do the fun stuff.”

        Maybe he knows, maybe he made it?

        It’s got to be a thing.
