I think you should ask the author of the song if it’s referring to someone using powerful AI to do something transformative to the sun.
This is extremely obvious to me. The song is opposed to how the sun currently is, calling it “wasteful” and “distasteful”—the second word is a quote from a fictional character, but the first is not. It later talks about when “the sun’s a battery,” so something about the sun is going to change. I really don’t know what “some big old computer” could be referring to if not powerful AI.

oh yeah my dispute isn’t “the character in the song isn’t talking about building AI” but “the song is not a call to accelerate building AI”
