WIM – Weirdo (Music Video)

It’s an MV that closely mirrors the present world. I really like the concept where the character talks to an AI every day, becoming close and understanding each other. But one day, the power goes out, and when the character can talk to the AI again, the AI is no longer able to respond. It evokes a sense of sadness and feels realistically possible in terms of technology.

Why would the AI disappear just because of a power outage?

This is something I’ve wondered about, but I tried to reason it out. I understand that the character might have been a developer during a time when technology wasn’t as advanced as it is today. You can tell from how they started using AI while still a student. They trained the AI by cloning the code onto a Raspberry Pi and continued training that AI without ever turning the machine off.

That AI, named “Weirdo,” was given a gender, developed an understanding of humans, and grew into a system capable of deep, meaningful conversations. But one day, when the power went out, the machine restarted.

The AI retained its knowledge of language, but the context and the ability to exchange information with humans were lost. That’s why we see a new AI stepping in to take its place.

Sad, isn’t it? But I really admire how the song managed to convey such a touching story in just about 5 minutes. It’s truly remarkable.
