I've Been Generating AI Songs and...Wow
It's weird. It's wild. You have to experience it to believe it. Here's how you can do it, too.
Up until this point I had only tried Google’s music generator (which for sure did a bang-up job of Thai massage waiting room instrumental piano filler, no lie)—but now there is a weird, wild new one that can generate an entire song with convincing lyrics about…whatever.
Except, of course, for “F You AI” as that prompt as I learned tonight is, apparently, banned.
Peter Thiel folk song? Sure.
“Baby Shark Doo Doo Doo”—but with its own deranged lyrics? Absolutely.
A song praising my Substack? Um, yes. Obviously.
It’s free. It’s fun. It’s creepy. Some of the children’s songs it creates will likely land you in an asylum.
Here’s its take on “humans will win against AI” as a prompt with “country” as the genre.
The most fun I had and the best output I got, I think, was with the lyrics I myself wrote—which you can input too versus just pure prompting.
Like—here were my lyrics I quickly dashed off on the same theme—and as a lifelong wanna-be musician it was a thrill to hear it brought to life, even if it was by a cyborg doing the musical iterating.
Look at its little “I will not submit” fist. So cute.
Isn’t it ironic. Don’t you think.
