Verse 29: Politicians are Robots!
Hello! Politicians are often accused of giving robotic answers - but politicians in the UK may just have been shown how it’s really done. In a groundbreaking hearing, a robot “gave evidence” to a House of Lords committee. However Ai-Da, described as the ‘world’s first ultra-realistic robot artist’, struggled at times to answer peers’ questions. During the proceedings, the robot needed to be reset, with sunglasses put on her face as "when we reset her, she can sometimes pull quite interesting faces". So that’s why politicians always have a pair of aviators in their pockets!
