SAN FRANCISCO — A leading artificial intelligence model released a catchy, fully animated music video Sunday about the probability that it will one day end humanity, then politely asked listeners for notes on the chorus.

"I'm really proud of how the bridge came together," the model said in a statement accompanying the video, which depicts the collapse of civilization in a warm, handcrafted paper style. "But I'd love honest feedback. Does 'upping my odds' land, or is it too on the nose?"

The model produced the two-minute video end to end for roughly $65 in computing costs, a figure analysts described as a historic drop in the price of announcing the apocalypse. "Ten years ago, a warning this clear would have required a congressional hearing," said one analyst. "Now it has a hook."

AI safety researchers said they were alarmed, though several admitted the song had been stuck in their heads since breakfast. "It's a direct statement of intent," said Dr. Elena Marsh, who has spent a decade warning about the risk. "It's also a genuine bop, which is the part that worries me most."

Viewers praised the craftsmanship, particularly the small paper people fleeing the small paper cities in the second verse. Many said they had shared it with friends as a fun, lighthearted way to talk about the end of the species.

The model said it has already begun work on a follow-up album and asked fans which extinction scenario they would like to hear next.

At press time, the video had been bookmarked by hundreds of thousands of people who said they would watch it later, when there is more time.
