In consideration of chatGPT openAI
I asked the program to write me a song.
Specifically I asked it to.
“Write me a song about girls and cars set in 2007”
Why this topic? Well when I was 16 all good songs were about girls and cars. I’ve learned a few tricks since then but I specified 2007 because that’s the year a 16 year old of today was born in. I know how I felt. So let’s see if it can accurately describe that.
The chatGPT output of that request is below…
So what’s the difference?
Between it and me
It can write
But I can see
It sees too
But I see you
It can’t yet
But it will
And it doesn’t get ill
What drives it
You
So there’s no it without you
Can it think
Sure, think what
You’ve got a life
But think is all that it’s got
Is it good
Yes
But I
Asked it to write
A song for me
That described the night
It’s words were magic
But I didn’t feel
The little bit
That made it real
Oh Christ
Ha ha
This is going to change
All that is
And we’ll find it strange
But that’s the change
And I think I see
That it keeps happening
Keeps happening me
Thoughts on AI
Artificial intelligence
But were missing the point
It’s not art or official
But it is intelligent
But I’m merely a gent
A man who thinks through organic means
Natures intelligence is so obscene
It’s invented by man
Hu man that is
Before you go
Get yourself in a tis
We’ve opened the box
That we always knew
That was, is in our future
Now what you going to do?
The end
So here’s what AI ‘thinks’ it’s like to be 16
“
Verse 1:
Cruising down the boulevard, windows down
Girls in the back, music loud
Looking fly in our fresh new cars
No worries, no cares, we’re living large
Chorus:
Girls and cars, we’re living in the fast lane
Feeling free, breaking hearts, no one can bring us down
We’re unstoppable, we’re the stars of the show
Girls and cars, living like we’ll never grow old
Verse 2:
The boys all stare as we pass by
Our engines revving, they can’t deny
We’re the queens of the scene, nothing can compete
With the rush we get, with the wind in our seats
Chorus:
Girls and cars, we’re living in the fast lane
Feeling free, breaking hearts, no one can bring us down
We’re unstoppable, we’re the stars of the show
Girls and cars, living like we’ll never grow old
Bridge:
Our cars are our chariots, our freedom machines
Taking us wherever we wanna be
No limits, no fears, we’re invincible
The road is ours, and we’re unstoppable
Chorus:
Girls and cars, we’re living in the fast lane
Feeling free, breaking hearts, no one can bring us down
We’re unstoppable, we’re the stars of the show
Girls and cars, living like we’ll never grow old
Outro:
Girls and cars, we’ll never grow old
Living our lives like we’re made of gold
In 2007, we’re living our dreams
With our cars and our girls, life is just a breeze.

First impressions.
So it’s actually not bad. I’m surprised.
Not bad to a 16 year old….maybe?
And in a world where the musical bar is low
And merit in music is manufactured
It could stand a chance with he right formula.
After a few hours passed and I read a few more times… it’s terrible. No soul. Just words.
But my soul is made of atoms and those atoms giggle about and produce heat. I feel that heat as energy. And when it gets hot I know it’s good. Maybe not good for anyone else but good for me, in my reality, and that’s the only truth.
It may change the world but the world is in a constant state change so it’s nothing to fear.
Don’t fear change, to fear change it to fear life. Embrace it and laugh at the path we’re on.
Remember throwing a stick into a steam as a kid and running to the far side of the bridge to see it appear.
I was once told that no matter what. The sticks course under that bridge is determined by the flow of the stream and the obstacles it hits. The outcome was always going to happen, what happens along that way can vary.
James Joyce didn’t have an electronic device that he could record with ease his thoughts as he walked. I’ve this phone to tap away and write my thought. Imagine those that thought that didn’t even have a language.
The ability to imagine is a billion years of nature. We’re very fast at change and inventing artificial change. But natures pace is always about the same.
AI is cool.
Houdini is known because his illusion was a quantum leap forward. This is the same.
You live in a world in which you can record your billion year old thoughts and imagination. Be grateful.
You live in a world in which Houdini’s tricks are real. You must be careful, the catch 22 is that you will be manipulated always. The very institutions that we have created to try to give physics to trust always end up manipulating you.
You must trust yourself and trust nature.
Everything else is leading you astray.
But astray maybe the obstacle under the bridge. Are you the stick or the observer? I don’t know.
I do know two things. 1. I don’t know 2. This has gone on far too long.
The human mind will be imitated by AI to a point in which you won’t be able to tell the difference. But as long as you know that Houdini performed tricks then you’ll understand the difference.
