I see your AI and raise you one Helge Schneider.
Indeed it was.
I’m not sure that those lyrics fall within Community guidelines. Somebody should flag them.
And These Lyrics Do Not Exist should be given a vacation.
I guess I prefer this to “better than humans.” People often attempt to write lyrics without understanding the meaning behind them, like in this case:
“As well as a human” is kind of a big net to cast. Most humans are likely lousy song writers, so if that’s the bar then yeah i’m sure this AI is no worse.
And playing for the human team:
I look forward to the fiverr guy who decides to take this and produce the song.
Axis of Awesome has provided us with more specific instructions for how to write a love song.
You’d think that people would have had enough of silly love songs.
Whoa. Having it write a sad country song about elephants got really inappropriate, instantly:
Verse 1
I was walking up her road the very first may
With an elephant on my back I said
You know that a northern man
On the day of the elephant there were three
Pre-Chorus
An elephant dong
An elephant dong
[Then it gets kind of racist. Then it gets extremely racist.]
I really have to wonder what the training material was…
[edit: No matter how I change the parameters, all songs about elephants are inappropriate. The AI has an elephant dong fixation.]
[edit edit: making the song “happier” makes it sadder and creepier, e.g. “Men who crawl inside your flesh”]
Guess what my topic was. Mood was “neutral.”
Verse 1
The lady on the telephone
Waiting for accordion
Yeah, I like your accordion, it gives me pleasure to delight
Why does she keep me waiting?
Pre-Chorus
My favorite accordion
Can we just give it up?
Chorus
My heart heavy tonight
Hear the dial accordion
Soon the accordion will be alight
To that louder accordion
Verse 2
There you go changing your accordion again
Saying that you need no part of me
Baby gonna put me down oh baby gonna put me down
She calls me at night
Pre-Chorus
So, baby, know what I want now
And that turn me on accordion
Chorus
My heart heavy tonight
Hear the dial accordion
Soon the accordion will be alight
To that louder accordion
Bridge
Look how you let him down
Look how you bring him to his knees
Chorus
My heart heavy tonight
Hear the dial accordion
Soon the accordion will be alight
To that louder accordion
But I look around me and I see it isn’t so.
I was very pleased to discover that my partner had never heard Make My Funk the P-Funk by Parliament. Watching her experience those ‘lyrics’ was one of the many highlights of a pretty awesome evening. Ain’t no bot gonna get anywhere near that level of… uhh… well, whatever the hell you’d call that sort of thing.
Chocolate freakin’ habit forming, indeed.
Verse 1
You gimp still has no belief and regret
Your gimp has betrayed your belief and your regret
Why.? The whole world is out of control
There.? The gimp is insane
Pre-Chorus
Our tables have turned
And now we killed the gimp
Chorus
In another younger day she might have been
The bright girl president at the high school level
A gimp, a gimp
They have lost their gimp and now we see
Verse 2
There is no master race and no gimp
Every lover has been led to the river of fools
Every mother and father and son
They say the man is poor
Pre-Chorus
But I was raised as a gimp
And what I did was wrong
Chorus
In another younger day she might have been
The bright girl president at the high school level
A gimp, a gimp
They have lost their gimp and now we see
Bridge
No life for the gimp
No life for the fool
Chorus
In another younger day she might have been
The bright girl president at the high school level
A gimp, a gimp
They have lost their gimp and now we see
And what’s wrong with that, I’d like to know…
