I spent a recent Friday afternoon doing something very important to humanity. It’s about creating a rap about AI-generated data centers. I was logged into Google’s Gemini for real work, but I got sidetracked by a shiny new music feature that changed my priorities.
Workflows peaked in 2026. I had to see who rapped “Baby Got Back” for the story. ChatGPT taught me (Sir Mix-A-Lot) that I had a creative urge.
“Recreate this famous rap, but make it about big data centers (and AI bubble concerns), not big problems,” I wrote.
Lyrics were delivered in a few seconds in the chat. Then, remembering Gemini’s music feature, I jumped into its chatbot and typed in my lines. I went for a mean 80’s rap vibe. What I got was Broadway-adjacent hip-hop with a strong theatrical energy. Not quite Run-DMC. More rent meets rack density.
Lowes: No matter how many times the AI rapper had Gemini replay the song, he stubbornly sang “jigawatt” instead of “gigawatt” and refused to pronounce “SaaS-y” correctly.
High: Delivered selective lines about PUE and capital expenditures with unsettling enthusiasm. (PUE = Power Usage Efficiency, or how efficiently a data center uses power).
Of course, I also shared the rap. One colleague called it “an abomination.” Another said, “I burned a lot of wood to do this and I love it,” which feels like the right direction.
We haven’t reached AGI yet. But it appears we are on the verge of AI-generated infrastructure wrap. lmk and I will send you the song if you want to listen to it.
