I spent a recent Friday afternoon doing something incredibly important for humanity: making an AI-generated rap about data centers. I’d logged into Google’s Gemini<\/a> for actual work, but got sidetracked by a shiny new music feature and, well, priorities shifted.<\/p>\n

\n Loading audio narration…\n <\/p>\n

The workflow was peak 2026: I needed to check who rapped “Baby Got Back” for a story<\/a>. ChatGPT told me (Sir Mix-a-Lot<\/a>), and I was gripped by a creative urge.<\/p>\n

“Recreate this famous rap, but make it about big data centers (and AI bubble concerns), rather than big butts,” I wrote.<\/p>\n

Chat<\/a> delivered lyrics in a few seconds. Then, remembering the Gemini music feature, I jumped across to that chatbot and piped in the lines. I asked for a nasty ’80s rap vibe. What I got was Broadway-adjacent hip-hop with strong theater kid energy. Not quite Run-DMC<\/a>. More Rent<\/a> meets rack density.<\/p>\n

Lows: The AI rapper stubbornly sang “jigawatt” instead of “gigawatt,” and refused to pronounce “SaaS-y” correctly, no matter how many times I had Gemini redo the tune.<\/p>\n

Highs: It delivered choice lines about PUE and capex with unsettling enthusiasm. (PUE = power usage effectiveness, or how efficiently data centers use electricity).<\/p>\n

Of course, I shared the rap. One colleague called it “an abomination.” Another said, “you burned so many trees doing this but I love it,” which feels directionally correct.<\/p>\n

We’re not at AGI yet. But we are, apparently, at AI-generated infra rap. If you want a listen, lmk<\/a> and I’ll send the song over.<\/p>\n
