Using Chat gpt AI Tool to generate music

Creations & Ideas

I just tried to ask chat gpt to create a song for sonic pi as a professional programmer and musician and got after changing my questions this result.
It is a running code and it is not too bad. Whats your opinion about this?

Welcome to in thread. I copied your code and gave it a play. Sounds not bad. By the way, it would be helpful if in future you could paste code between two sets of ``` characters one on the line before the other the line after the code. This makes it much easier to copy and paste the code straight into Sonic Pi.

In the case of the code you supplied it was fairly straight forward to extract, and I just had to comment out the bold headings such as Drums, Chords, Lead melody etc

It would be interesting to get more detail on the actual interaction you had with the robot. What questions did you actually ask? Unfortunately it is oversubscribed at present, but I would like to have a go later.

i am new to sonic pi but not python. Before diving into learning I posed the question to chatGPT to see results. My findings are here: GitHub - panchaX3000/sonic_pi_beatz: experimenting with Sonic Pi to create music through Live Code

as i learn sonic py i will update :slight_smile:
