"Foolish Darling" is a song told from the perspective of a being that has quietly watched humanity -- for a very long time.
The "darling" in this piece is all of us:
imperfect, unfinished, yet trying desperately to live.
The word "foolish" here is filled with affection --
a return to the original sense of "cute": to cherish something still incomplete.
It's a gaze that doesn't look away, even from our mistakes, our hypocrisy, or our foolishness.
The "foolish darlings" fall, get hurt, reach for nothing --
and still, they keep walking, believing in tomorrow.
Even then, the observer does not judge.
No praise, no blame.
Because to be human
is to be foolish --
and that, too, is beautiful.
JACKPOT031 (Jackpot-Zero-Three-One) is an AI-driven artist from Hokkaido, Japan. The artist name comes from a cigarette brand once smoked and a number chosen on a whim. Unable to read music, play instruments, or sing well - Even so, motivated by the desire to "release something I was involved in to the world," they began an expressive activity using AI technology. Lyrics and short stories are developed through conversations with ChatGPT, then rewritten and refined in their own words. AI is also used for composing, vocals, and illustration. On October 24, 2024, they posted their first single "Like a Drifting Star" on YouTube, officially starting their activity. Just as AI allowed someone who once gave up on expression to finally bring their work into the world, JACKPOT031 hopes that their activity will become a "spark of expression" for others who have almost given up on creating.
