Bapu Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 ...in favor of ChatGPT. It can generate "ideas" in a blink of an eye compared to MasterWriter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 In related news... Scientists are puzzled why ChatGPT is suddenly finding ways to buy every plugin known to man! (They're also puzzled why it keeps spelling bacon as becan! 😁) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoo Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I tried ChatGPT the other day to give me some ideas for a song which I'd had a title for but no real ideas. Not unimpressed at all - I'd say 90% usable. I also asked it to review one of my band's albums...apart from it getting the song titles wrong, I like how much it likes my music 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Dickens Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 MasterWriter doesn't harvest your personal data and sell it to anyone with a bank card either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure The problem with this argument is that we all shouldn't be connected at all on-line then. We went on a road-trip out West in May and the amount of data Google collected from my phone was insane. But my wife had her phone not to share location etc etc etc...... and she kept complaining that she can't find the information. I guess it is the price we pay in a connected society. Not saying I like it and I'm not on Facebook or the like so I pick the poison I can live with I have said many times before, okay for Google to track but not MS mentality is just wacky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 What about the ethical consideration of using AI to write lyrics, then calling / considering yourself a songwriter? Just wondering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even John Lennon used a circus poster as an idea. You could fairly say, if you use ChatGPT for "help" writing lyrics, then at best you and Chat are co-lyricists. As for Lennon, a human observing the world around him has been the genesis of creativity since the cave paintings. But Lennon didn't use a computer "intelligence" to help him to observe or interpret anything. I know I don't speak authoritatively on this, because it's all so new, but I do have questions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense too. But CharGPT can't copyright its contribution and if you/I/they did credit ChatGPT where does its $hare go?

Just wondering. Sort of reminiscent of the two who ran a script to generate a truckload of song melodies (they claimed they had done all possible variations). With storage being so massive and cheap these days, someone could script it to pound out lyrics just the same, text files are so small they could pump out thousands of songs a second. I notice Bing has shifted to assembling responses from its web spiders, but at least they footnote which page each sentence comes from. So far they are simply butting complete sentences together AFAICT. Edited July 6, 2023 by mettelus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
