LLMs 'shaking the disease': Depeche Mode lyrics reframed as a model's plea to be understood
astralmatrix · x · 2026-10-08
An AI meme: the author recasts Depeche Mode's 'Shake the Disease' lyrics—"Here is a plea from my heart to you / Nobody knows me as well as you do / You know how hard it is for me to shake the disease / That takes hold of my tongue in situations like these / Understand me, understand me"—as "LLMs speaking to humans," a joke about models desperately trying to be understood. The quoted post, part of the 'day 173 of the singularity' series, lists what hasn't been fixed: heart disease, world hunger, slow websites, zero new planets reached, and the pneumonic plague patient zero still at large.
