Chat GPT

[fractalsister]

I asked Chat GPT to write a song lyric by The Sisters of Mercy, and got this abomination (the note at the end is not mine, but added by the AI):

Verse 1:
In the darkness, I hear a voice
Whispering secrets, making a choice
The night is alive, the city is raw
I'm just a stranger, looking for more

Chorus:
Oh, the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone
They were waiting for me here in the dark
All along

Verse 2:
I see shadows moving on the wall
Haunting memories of a love that was
The echoes of laughter, the cries of pain
All fade away in the falling rain

Chorus:
Oh, the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone
They were waiting for me here in the dark
All along

Bridge:
I'm falling down, down the rabbit hole
The past is gone, but the memories hold
I'll keep searching, until I'm found
By the sisters of mercy, still holding on

Outro:
Oh, the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone
They were waiting for me here in the dark
All along

Note: The lyrics are inspired by The Sisters of Mercy, but it's not a song that exists in reality, it's a new song.

Mumble mumble mumble voice
Mumble secrets, something noice
Mumble live, city shore
Mumble stranger, nothing more



Done, just need to not record it.

I got a pair of final exams that I strongly believe were written by ChatGPT at the end of the last semester. What gave them away? Well, they were both in grammatically perfect and coherent English, which I find is very rare for undergraduates. But secondly, they were simultaneously detailed and superficial - for example, the essay on Kant probably would have fooled someone who didn’t know the text of the Groundwork very well, but I could tell it was gibberish. Of course, the kids who resorted to this weren’t going to pass the class anyway.

apart from the stolen lines of Leonard Cohens it reminds me of something i would write when i was about 14 hehe and there are far far worse lyrics written and sung by actual human adults with no sense of irony whatsoever. I find AI's fascinating though.

i recently read about a guy from princeton university who has developed software to identify essays or other texts which are written by AI by analysing whether the text is too even/consistent. appparantly human authors will have all sorts of variation in the things they write.
fascinating stuff, really.

i give it ten minutes before someone claims to have a bootleg of Wayne singing this over the backing track of Nine While Nine

Nick Cave's thoughts on the matter:

And then there's this: https://google-research.github.io/seane ... /examples/

I reckon we're not too far out from your typical Spotify Top 100 hit being 80-90% AI generated - lyrics, music and all. Some human touches in post-production, maybe even a few added tracks or backing vocals.

I was musing the other day that the current trend towards simple melodies, sparse arrangements, and heavy production (and ofc pervasive auto tune) is exactly what an AI would have an easier time producing than, say the Beatles or Elvis or whatever. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that a large chunk of it is already AI generated. They only admitted to Autotune years after that Cher song released.
