Got ChatGPT to write some midi music. Sample attached. I used another ChatGPT prompt to create the computer generated voice in python and compiled the track. [https://dgsdesigns.com/test/mixdown.wav](https://dgsdesigns.com/test/mixdown.wav)

Interesting idea 🤪. As soon as it starts singing, I’ll join in 🙂

You are a GENIUS! 😄MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! [https://dgsdesigns.com/test/i\_love\_rock\_roll.wav](https://dgsdesigns.com/test/i_love_rock_roll.wav) ChatGPT told me to write a MusicXML file that I uploaded to [https://www.sinsy.jp/](https://www.sinsy.jp/)

Prompt: Sinsy is an HMM/DNN-based singing voice synthesis system. You can generate a singing voice sample by uploading the musical score (MusicXML) to this website. Write the MusicXML file to sing a song, I love rock and roll!

I remember someone using it to play chess, but the performance is far below the ability of an average human chess player and far, far, far below of an actual specialist chess AI like Stockfish.

I mean it really just depends on what it’s trained on. It writes poems and books well because it has lots of that in the training data, but it doesn’t quite have a lot of high quality music. It’ll probably spot certain patterns.

I do use a trick when writing poetry, which is to give it a sample of the poems I like, and it’ll write it to that style. Maybe if you give it certain forms of music that you want it to sound like, it could get inspiration off those.

Maybe you should try looking on the muscle and fitness thread. 😂

Chat GT4 can make whole movies. It can create Elvis Songs that are indistinguishable from the originals, complete with video.

Chat GTP4 doesn’t need prompts to think. It does it on its own.

It actually created itself a memory.

Interesting. Do you have a link to the video you mentioned?

Let’s talk about AI generated music and get this topic back on track.  
For anybody interested I recommend checking out this YouTube creator:

It’s a mix of AI and manual creative work and at times the results are actually astounding.

I use it all the time. I live code with Tidal Cycles and ChatGPT is very aware of Tidal Cycles syntax (obviously not the latest version). I use it to make drum patterns, fills, suggest chord progressions, recommend new artists, transcribe midi into tidal cycles or a picture of midi to tidal cycles (doesn’t do the best job but the results are interesting and usable). Also GPT is very creative in using Ableton with modulation tricks.

hey there, could you maybe tell how you would use ChatGPT for advanced modulation in Ableton?

I am currently concerned with Human creative speech being conditioned and limited in its varied forms of expression and choice of etymology by AI, not the other way round, trying to find out how GPT Chat can find its way out of the repetitive limited vocabulary of re-using the words ‘in the realms of, embrace, tapestry, delve, crafting’ and other famous plagiarisms that are causing humanity to learn to speak like AI, instead of AI learning to speak like humans; [https://www.ajarnspencer.com/the-rise-of-the-word-crafting-as-a-word-for-all-things-created/](https://www.ajarnspencer.com/the-rise-of-the-word-crafting-as-a-word-for-all-things-created/)

stumbled onto this thread from google, and as much as I love Chat GPT, i really would not recommend using it for this sort of thing when there are already many good tools for the actual composing of music out there. I personally use Scaler 2 (but there are others!).

it can do a ton of analysis on existing chords you input and can provide alternative chords and even assist with modulating between keys. And it integrates into your DAW super easily and you can drag out MIDI to your tracks and etc.

I use AI a lot for personal stuff, but sometimes I feel like we get into the headspace of looking at every problem that needs solved with an AI hammer, when it’s already been solved in better ways.
