There has been a lot of media coverage of AI (Artificial Intelligence) lately, largely because of an amazing program called “ChatGPT”. It is an internet site that anyone can use. You go there, tell it to write about some topic, and almost instantly it gives you an essay, an description, a poem, or whatever you asked it to write. It scans the internet for information then writes out what your ask. It is scary because it is the future, and many a job will be lost as AI takes over.
A week ago, a nephew of mine went to the ChatGPT site and typed in: “Write a rap song about the queen of Brioche knitting.”
(My sister, Nancy is a very talented and well known knitter, who has creatively expanded and taken Brioche knitting to new heights and has been called, “The Queen of Brioche”.)
Although her name wasn’t mentioned in my nephew’s request, ChatGPT figured it all out and in twenty seconds, produced the requested rap lyrics. I won’t write out the whole rap, but here is the chorus it produced:
“She’s the queen of brioche knitting, nobody can deny
Her designs are straight fire. they’ll make your needles fly
She’s got style, she’s got grace, she’s got technique for days,
Nancy Marchant, the queen of brioche knitting, always slays.”
While it not the greatest lyrics in the world and could certainly be tweaked and improved, it is amazing that it was created in 20 seconds, and provided information that was not input with the command.
I was inspired to try ChatGPT out myself, and so went to the site and typed in: “Write lyrics about the Village of McBride in the style of country music.”
Within seconds, ChatGPT gave me the lyrics you see at the top of the blog. Again, they are not the greatest lyrics ever produced and certainly need tweaking, but I was amazed at how quickly it gathered information from the internet and created lyrics.
Like I said at the start, AI is going to be the future, like it or not. It is a brave new world we are entering.
