I tasked ChatGPT with writing me a punk rock song about beer.
Here’s what I got:
Verse 1:
Pint in my hand,
head banging to the band
Feelin’ alive,
fueled by the beer can
Gotta have it cold,
gotta have it now
Gonna raise hell,
gonna break down
Chorus:
Beer, beer,
it’s my anthem
Gotta have it,
gonna drink it
Never gonna stop,
gonna keep it coming
Beer, beer, it’s my anthem
Verse 2:
Sipping suds,
feeling no regret
Gonna live life,
gonna forget
All the troubles, all the pain
Gonna drink it down,
gonna go insane
Chorus:
Beer, beer, it’s my anthem
Gotta have it, gonna drink it
Never gonna stop,
gonna keep it coming
Beer, beer, it’s my anthem
Bridge:
Punk rock and beer,
they go hand in hand
Gonna keep it loud,
gonna take a stand
Gonna keep it real,
gonna keep it true
Gonna drink it down,
gonna see it through
Chorus:
Beer, beer,
it’s my anthem
Gotta have it, gonna drink it
Never gonna stop,
gonna keep it coming
Beer, beer, it’s my anthem
Outro:
Gonna drink it all,
gonna drink it fast
Gonna make it last,
gonna make it last
Gonna keep it going,
gonna keep it strong
Gonna raise my glass,
gonna sing my song
Beer, beer, it’s my anthem.
There’s so much going on in the AI-Tech space right now; it’s enough to make your head spin. It’s almost getting too hard to keep up. I started creating images this summer and have been having a ton of fun experimenting with them and learning (Twitter and YouTube are fantastic resources for learning image prompts). I’ve been combining some of my art with stories written by ChatGPT. These tools open up the possibilities for creative expression for artists and writers alike.
I understand the fear surrounding AI technology: students will cheat, kids will get lazy and won’t learn to write correctly, artists are being ripped off, and illustrators are quickly losing assignments. All (mostly) valid points.
The ones that will win in this AI arms race are the ones that use the technology to help them work smarter and faster — and not lean on the tools to do their work for them.
