VIDEO: Song written by autocomplete

A songwriter has released a viral tune using lyrics only presented to him by Apple's latest software. The iOS8 Quick Type keyboard boasts the ability to know what the user wants to type. It is quite uncanny.

On the new iPhone 6 and 6 plus the keyboard attempts to give the user the best words for any given situation.

28-year-old songwriter Jonathan Mann decided to put this technology to the ultimate test, and used his predictive text to write the lyrics to a pop song.

The catchy 4-minute tune features some thought-provoking lyrics and well, also some utter nonsense!

Sound a little crazy? Or perhaps even a little creepy? Don't worry, we think so too!

Watch this video and prepare to have your mind blown.

Do you use predictive text or does it annoy you? Bearing in mind, autocomplete relies on user history to predict text, would you be brave enough to have your predictive text shown to the world?
