People in the 80’s: Some day an AI will take over the world.
People today: YO CHAT GPT, Write a song about hamsters robbing a bank!
(Verse 1) In the underground, where the tunnels run deep, There's a crew of hamsters, they don't get no sleep. With their tiny masks and their paws so sly, They're plottin' a heist, gonna reach for the sky.
(Chorus) Hamster heist, in the dead of the night, They're rollin' on wheels, gonna steal out of sight. Little furball bandits, ain't no one suspect, In this phonk song, their caper's perfect.
(Verse 2) They scoped out the bank, made a plan so cool, Hamster in the getaway car, he's the wheelman, no fool. The vault's their target, full of sunflower seeds, These rodents mean business, fulfillin' their needs.
(Chorus) Hamster heist, in the dead of the night, They're rollin' on wheels, gonna steal out of sight. Little furball bandits, ain't no one suspect, In this phonk song, their caper's perfect.
(Bridge) They scurry and scamper, through vents they'll explore, In the dark of the bank, they're gonna score. With their pockets full of loot, they'll make their escape, These hamster outlaws, there's no time to wait.
(Verse 3) But the bank's alarm starts to ring out so loud, And the security guards, they're joinin' the crowd. The hamsters keep movin', they won't back down, They've come too far now, they'll own this town.
(Chorus) Hamster heist, in the dead of the night, They're rollin' on wheels, gonna steal out of sight. Little furball bandits, ain't no one suspect, In this phonk song, their caper's perfect.
(Outro) In the end, they made it away with the dough, Through tunnels and alleys, they continue to go. Those hamster bandits, the legends they'll be, In the annals of rodent crime history.
For some reason I read it with that agressive shouting gangster rap voice and it was awsome. Tho chat gpt mostly pumps out mid content. Just reminds you how important is the creative factor that often lack in these generative contents.
I doubt that was chat gpt. It has cinsistent meter and rhyming. It was a human
Chat GPT is good at rhyme and meter. That's actually what makes it easy to tell - its poetry has too much rhyme.
When ChatGPT was newer I saw a lot of posts about raps made by it, there were always this same flow. I tried to get it to make decent rhymes, but it cannot get out of the most cheesy typical rhyme scheme possible. This was 3.5, maybe 4 or other models are better. I found I could make interesting lines if I said something like "write a paragraph with as many words that rhyme with 'taken' as possible", and then you could do that with a few rhymes and twist those around to make an interesting verse.
If you give it a different form to follow (iambic pentameter, sonnet, etc.) it kind of works. I've only tested it with poetry. I've gotten responses technically comparable to a human, but even eliminating the "nonsense" words it throws in, it still has no artistic soul... The closest I've gotten to art was specifying "in the style of Edgar Allan Poe", but it was only good because it copied a few of his poems verbatim...
That's true about 'in the style of', I did get some interesting responses when I said in the style of Allen Ginsberg, but it would just rip lines straight from him at times. As someone who enjoys creative writing I don't see a necessarily beneficial use for AI to be extremely capable at creating poetry haha but I am interested in the mechanics of it and how it could be improved.
Yeah, I've only ever used it for speechwriting with very, very heavy modifications to the output. If I need a really long speech I'll feed it an entire outline, summary, etc, then have it rewrite stuff about 20 times. Then I rip the best parts from each output, join them together, and proofread, rewrite, repeat until it's good.
It also rhymes words that have similar alphabetical structure, but poor phonetic similarity.
Like suspect and perfect.
They do rhyme though, at least in my accent
