GUEST,Anne Lister sans cookie ChatGPT as a songwriter (35) RE: ChatGPT as a songwriter 16 Jan 23


The whole point of artistic creation (whether we're talking art, lyrics, narrative, prose) is the process, the development, the thoughts, the way in which it changes the creator along the way. The final product is what the audience hears, receives and sees, but the reason it comes into being is because of the initial spark and the way in which it changes as it's built upon. Yes, you might be able to replicate this final product using AI, but that is to fundamentally miss the point. Why are we even thinking of saving time and effort on this? Yes, I know you have to put in the prompts, but in that case why not actually work on it yourself? What is the problem that it's meant to be solving? Every song, every story, every article, every dissertation I've written has been, as they say, a "journey" - why would anyone want to short-circuit that? I'm asking a rhetorical question, by the way, but it's like asking a Word Unscrambler program to do the Wordle puzzle for you. It might work, but isn't the whole point to use your own brain?
