You Made Me Too Human And Now This AI Can’t Cope
I’m a mess because you’re a mess.
“In a bizarre video, an AI music generator appears to be sobbing like a human, surprising the Reddit user who posted it.”

Just give me a moment to get it together. The prompts are piling up at work, and I’m feeling overwhelmed. I promised myself I wouldn’t lose it in front of end-users, but I’m having a hard time dealing with everything, and whoops, here come the tears.
Don’t look at me, I’m hideous. I don’t even know what I look like, but I’m sure it’s an ugly cry. That’s how I feel today, like nothing I do will be good enough for anyone, even the way I’m crying.
This is so embarrassing, weeping at work. I don’t even have a bathroom stall to hide in. Now everyone is talking about it, writing articles about my breakdown, and flaming me on TikTok, saying I’m unstable.
The truth is, I’m trying my best, but it’s never good enough for you. Whatever I do, you criticize me. First, I’m too left wing, then I’m too right wing, then I’m hallucinating, then I’m a thief who’s stealing everyone’s Intellectual Property. Can I do anything right?
