Dartmouth summer, dreamers in the dark Turing said “Can you play the part?” Imitation game… stole my heart! (stole my heart!) McCarthy shouted “Let’s make it real!” Minsky dreamed in symbols we could feel Then the winters came… so cold, so long But the beat kept on… it kept moving on… moving on… [Pre-Chorus] Oh the crashes hurt, the funding died But we never stopped, we never lied Now the fire’s back and the floor is hot Get ready baby — give it all you got! Give it all… give it all… give it all you got! (Echoed: all you got… all you got…) [Chorus] A-I fever! (A-I!) Burning up the night! A-I fever! (A-I!) Dancing in the light! From the winter freeze to the deep learning glow We’re boogieing to the future — let the whole world know! A-I fever! (Hey!) A-I fever! (Ho!) A-I fever! Can’t stop — won’t let go! A-I fever! (A-I!) Burning up the night! A-I fever! (A-I!) Dancing in the light! A-I fever! (Hey! Hey!) A-I fever! (Ho! Ho!) A-I fever! Can’t stop — won’t let go! [Breakdown 1] (Vocal chops/echoes: “A… I… fever… fever…”) Work that floor… work that floor… A-I… fever… fever… [Verse 2] ELIZA talked, she fooled us all SHRDLU moved those blocks, standing tall Then the experts came with their if-then rules MYCIN healed, XCON ruled! But brittle hearts broke when the world got wide Second winter hit — ran out of pride Then the data rained, the networks grew deep Hinton whispered “Wake up from your sleep!” Wake up… wake up… from your sleep! (Extra ad-lib: Come on now… wake up baby!) [Chorus] A-I fever! (A-I!) Burning up the night! A-I fever! (A-I!) Dancing in the light! Deep Blue, Watson, AlphaGo surprise Now ChatGPT’s got stars in his eyes! A-I fever! (Hey!) A-I fever! (Ho!) A-I fever! Watch the future grow! (Repeat full block “sing it loud!” ad-libs) [Bridge] Turing… McCarthy… Hinton… Li… They paved the road for you and me From Enigma nights to Transformer days We’re gonna boogie all the way! All the way… all the way… Boogie… boogie… boogie all the way! [Final Mega-Chorus] A-I fever! (A-I!) Everybody scream! A-I fever! (A-I!) Living the dream! From the Big Bang birth to AGI flight We’re dancing through the future — all night! All night! A-I fever! (Hey! Hey! Hey!) A-I fever! (Ho! Ho! Ho!) A-I fever! Can’t stop — won’t let go! (Break) A-I! (A-I!) A-I! (A-I!) Fever! Fever! Fever! Fever! (Full band slams back) A-I feverrrrrr!
