Not bad! I considered it very informative and let’s face it: it gives us a ‘hook’ to show how such a personal thing as music can be delivered out by AI. In all seriousness, has anyone put thru the questions that Paul McCartney ‘answered’ in his McCartney LP press release from 1970? I mean, if Macca was the pre-cog to this... *mindblown*
So much more thoughtful than i expected! Always praising your answers before asking the next one. I could do better at that myself. What great manners CHATGPT has!
What I noticed was a sort of cadence like a middle schooler working on a report, but in a more refined language and syntax. It seems inevitable that this will improve quickly as well. The tech looks less frightening when contextualized as a tool performing a human function. We are all watching it knowing that it's not a genuine human on the other end. The danger of this technology is that it can replicate what we would have otherwise thought to be wholly genuine content, be it written, audio or video. Our basic concept of truth is about to be stretched even further.
I think if I had given it more inputs ("Write in the style of..." "don't use worlds like..."), we might've seen more refined responses. For this experiment, I wanted to see where it would take me.
That said, I share your concerns about it being able to replicate genuine content--I'm especially leery of voice reproduction-- further eroding our trust in just about anything.
Wow. Very impressive and, let’s admit it, a bit scary too! I agree with what others said about its politeness and clarity. I can see how tremendously helpful it can be for certain tasks such as research, as you mentioned in the article. Like a computer with superpowers. I wonder whether in the future we will accept it as part of ordinary life or we will still make a distinction between what has been AI-generated and what hasn’t. Only time will tell...
I think regarding it as a sort of research intern has a lot of potential. My worry is that we're about to see a flood of poor quality "content" flood the internet.
Cool idea. I asked ChatGPT to review my latest album recently and it was disappointingly inaccurate. But then I asked it to "write a song in the style of Brad Carl" and it came up with some very basic lyrics about losing a loved one. I asked how it came up with the subject manner for the song and it replied they were "generated based on the style and tone of Brad Carl's music, as well as common themes and patterns found in his songwriting."
Makes sense. The final track on my latest album is about my father's death.
I should've clarified - the 'review' did start with a statement that the AI doesn't have subjective opinions or feelings. So it basically wrote a generic review. But it got the release date wrong and it mentioned numerous song titles, none of which were my songs. I thought this was weird because any human can get that information with Google.
I will say, I wonder if it would do a better review for an album like "Thriller" or "Dark Side of the Moon" that have thousands of reviews online vs. my little record.
Ah, gotcha. That makes sense. My guess (?) is that a review of something like Thriller would certainly get things like the track listing correct, but I wonder what the rest of it would look like?
Great concept. And such clarity of thought behind each answer. You're a star, Kevin!
Haha, Thanks! You should try it w/Hello Universe and see what happens.
Yup, I've used ChatGPT in different ways but not this one. Surely on my list!

Good question! If they have, I'd love to see them.
I might just give it a go myself lol
Honestly, the AI did a better job that I would ever do lol
I should stick to taking photos and leave the writing thing for the pros. And by pros I mean the AI, of course. LOL
You're a much better writer than you give yourself credit for! Cats or words, I'm looking forward to your return. :)

It knew flattery would get it everywhere. lol.
It should call itself Flattery O’Connor.
Lol.
This was interesting. Thanks.

Yes I hear you. Very well structured, perfect grammar and punctuation, but no substance. Soulless, if you pardon the cliche!
Good stuff, Kevin! Always nice to find out what makes some of my favorite people tick.😊
Thank you!! :)

Out of curiosity, what was inaccurate about the review? I'm asking because they're usually subjective.

I suppose there's only one way to find out...ha. I'll let you know.
Right on!
"Wow," and, "That's really cool," made me laugh, AI coming over like some sad parent trying way too hard to be 'down with the kids'!
