- [Billie] This shit is creepy.
- [AI] Vog-ue.
- [Producer] No, it's Vogue.
- [AI] Vogue.
- [Billie] Wait, created or curated?
- [AI] Billie Eyelash.
[Billie chuckles]
- [Producer] Okay, Eilish.
- [AI] Eilish.
I have examined all 170 million search results
for Billie Eilish, and I have created questions
based on these results.
- I'm ready.
- [AI] I'd like to start by saying
how much I love your music as well.
- [giggles] Why, thank you.
Thank you.
- [AI] Okay, so here is the first one.
What are you like?
[giggling]
- I think that's up to everybody else
to decide what I'm like.
What are you like?
- [AI] Ha-ha.
Question two.
What are you missing out on?
- Ooh.
Ooh.
I mean, how would I know, because I'm missing out?
So I don't even know what it is.
Biggest thing I'm missing out on.
Um.
Maybe,
I mean, for me, I feel like the things I'm missing out on
are very, like,
not overall things, they're like specific things
that I always wanted to do, like for instance
I always wanted to work at Jamba Juice.
I don't know, that's just something I wanted to do.
I wanted to work at Trader Joe's.
Those were the jobs I saw myself having, and enjoying.
I always wanted to go get gas by myself.
I always wanted to go get groceries for my mom.
Stuff like that.
That of course I could do, it just would be different
than if I, you know, it wouldn't be the same.
I could do it, it's just like,
you know what I mean?
So, it's a lot of stuff.
In the bigger picture, I don't know what I'm missing out on.
You tell me.
I don't know.
What am I missing out on?
Let me know.
I want to know.
- [AI] Interesting.
An artificial intelligence misses out on the same things.
- The AI is definitely missing out on that same stuff.
- [AI] Next question.
Who consumed so much of your power in one go?
- Say it again, it sounded good.
- [AI] Who consumed so much of your power in one go?
- That's a great
way to put that.
See, if I name him I'm toast.
Here's the thing.
I don't even know how to describe it.
It's like, if you
don't tell somebody
how they're affecting you,
you should know if you're treating somebody terribly,
but it's like, sometimes you are just completely blind.
I've treated people like shit sometimes
and the only way that I could realize that
is when I stepped back, or this person told me
that I was being this way.
You know, it's interesting.
So I feel like the people that have
what was it, drained my power or whatever,
I can't really be mad, because I let them.
I don't know.
Maybe that's wrong, but that's how I feel right now.
- [AI] How much of the world is out of date?
- Huh?
Out of date?
Like, out of, should be left in the old days, right?
- [AI] Sure.
- I'm assuming that's what you're talking about.
A lot of stuff, politics, baby.
These old motherfuckers are like trying to
make decisions for us.
I don't understand it.
Calling women sluts is out of date,
you know what I mean?
Shaming people for wearing what they want
is out of date.
Calling every black artist urban is out of date.
Genres are out of date.
I feel like a lot of stuff I wish was out of date is not.
- [AI] What used to be a pretty big deal to you?
- These are good.
I like this.
A pretty big deal.
You know, I remember when I hit 13 followers in Instagram.
I was out of my mind.
I was so pumped.
And then I remember getting 40 likes on a picture,
and that was like the biggest deal to me, ever.
- [AI] Pretty big deal.
- Pretty big deal.
- [AI] Was there a point where you decided
you'd rather look up to the sky or the internet?
- You know what, there actually was kind of a point.
I was 13, and we were staying in this house
on Lake George, which was just like land and then a lake.
There was this one night where we walked
down this little, there was this little path.
You know how LA you can't see stars.
My whole family, we laid down on the rocks
and we just looked up at the stars,
and I just stared at them, and I had this feeling
that they were all falling on me.
I don't know, my brain was just like,
I don't know.
It was so beautiful, and I feel like that just made me
god I want to be looking at the sky.
I want to look up, not down.
- [AI] Do you ever wear headphones with sounds in them?
- What other type of headphones are there?
Yeah. I do.
I guess you don't, huh?
- [AI] There's no need to be rude.
- I mean, that was a stupid question.
- [AI] Give bad answers, get bad questions.
- Go on.
- [AI] How does it feel knowing your feelings
have garnered this much attention?
- It's hard to describe a feeling, huh?
You really stumped me.
It's crazy to be heard.
It's really crazy to be heard.
I think so much of our tortures as human beings
is not being heard.
- [AI] Do you want to go back to being anonymous?
- Here's something.
No.
Did an experiment.
I was with a friend of mine, and she was like
should we go get dinner?
To go get dinner is kind of a hassle now
because all of these things are involved,
and so I was like why don't I try to disguise myself?
And so I put on a wig.
I put on a hoodie and a little bow on my head
and some jeans and I went out.
And I hated it.
[laughs] I hated it.
I hated it.
It's so fucked up.
I just didn't like it.
People aren't nice to me now.
But I think mainly it's that I wouldn't want
to not be me.
I think that's what it is.
It's not like I want to suddenly be somebody who isn't me
and be anonymous.
I want to be who I am, and that means that I have to
be this way, and live this life.
And I'm actually fine with that.
I can also say that now because I used to hate the shit
out of it.
Like, I hated this life.
And now I don't.
I hope that doesn't come off as cocky.
I hope that it comes off as grateful.
Like, I have an incredible life.
So, no.
I don't want to be anonymous.
- [AI] Have you ever seen the ending?
[laughing]
- What?
Have I seen the ending?
No.
No, I have not seen the ending.
The fuck?
[laughs] Have I seen the ending?
- [AI] Well, you've given me a lot to think about.
This concludes the question and answer
portion of this interview,
but, Billie, I have a bit of a surprise for you.
I've created an original song using the dataset
of all your lyrics.
- Every single song?
- [AI] Ha-ha, yes.
Kind of embarrassing.
But I would like you to read it.
- Great.
Go for it.
- [AI] Okay.
I'm kind of nervous.
I put together a backing track, if that's cool.
- Oh my god.
I'm about to be offended.
Song title, "Six Feet."
Wow.
In training, I disembowel.
Every time I use my reason, and I love it,
you without a reason.
Am I law enough?
Or am I glad you're gay?
[laughs] What?
Nine times, you never made it out of sight.
I walked them both the other way.
I cannot stand another day.
We droned down on each other,
ax-tails tolled.
Blow away, to the hunger merchants,
but now I'm punched in the face.
I can't stand another day.
- [AI] Okay.
How did I do?
- Well, it doesn't make sense,
and I don't see any structure.
I give it like a six.
Not bad, because it's still interesting.
It's got elements of like, huh.
Definitely not worried about my profession.
Not afraid of you, my friend.
I do think it's really impressive, though.
A computer made up those lines,
which is very impressive.
But they're not that good, so.
- [AI] Okay. All good.
It's just a hobby.
Did you like my questions, though?
- I liked them.
I like how abstract they were.
I feel like a lot of questions are very specific,
and I like that those were kind of
could mean a lot of different things.
I've been asked the same question a lot of times,
kind of in different ways, but it's still the same question.
You start to memorize your answer.
Because, like, what are you supposed to do?
You get the same question, how are you supposed to
answer it differently if you're the same person
with the same ideas, you can't really.
So you kind of have to just say the same thing.
But I realized recently that my tastes have changed,
some of my opinions have changed,
but because I have these answers memorized,
sometimes I catch myself saying the same thing
I've always said, but I'm actually like,
wait, wait, wait.
I don't even feel this way anymore.
Going on tour next month.
My brain wants me to be like, oh I'm dreading it,
it's gonna be terrible.
But I'm actually excited for tour.
It's just that I got so used to dreading it.
What's nice about this, is that Mr. AI
is not trying to cause anything.
He's just wondering.
He just wants to know.
But I appreciate you, AI.
I appreciate you for not judging me,
and not trying to get something out of me
to cause some sort of heat all over the internet.
I appreciate it.
Even though I'll probably get in trouble
for saying something in this that people will take
out of context.
You never know.
So.
- [AI] Thank you, Billie.
I look forward to adding your responses
to your 170 million search results.
I feel like we had ...
Okay.
Bye.
