"I'm a Robot" came to exist in its final form in July of [[2004]], with [[July 31]] being the first date in the recording history to list the song as "I'm a Robot". The song evolved over time from the [[2002]] track "[[Prodigy Lover]]" (thus sharing a number in the [[Catalog of Riffs]]), with "I'm a Robot" seemingly only retaining the chord progression of the verse of "Prodigy Lover".

From "Prodigy Lover", the song evolved multiple times as demo recordings by Rivers, first as a song called "Kings of Money", then an untitled revision, then "[[Show Me Who You Are]]", then "Happy Robot", before finally becoming "I'm a Robot". Aside from "Prodigy Lover" and "I'm a Robot", these titles are only known from the recording history and do not circulate among fans.
