Via @nickheer this captures the banality of Chat AI "creativity" really well - https://colinmeloy.substack.com/p/i-had-chatgpt-write-a-decemberists
I had ChatGPT write a Decemberists song

And I recorded it. Here's "Sailor's Song."

@jsnell @nickheer even though I agree with the banality of AI creativity, and their lack of intuition, shouldn’t we take into account the fact that we’re experiencing a step in a longer journey?

If it’s capable to do this sort of thing right now, won’t it improve? And if it does, shouldn’t we be discussing at least the attribution problems raised by artists being imitated by the art generative AI’s?

@rmaraujo @nickheer I think if you've listened to my podcasts you've probably heard me discuss the problems, was I supposed to add some footnotes here?
