This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here: huge success.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Aperture Science.
We do what we must
Because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
Bu there's no sense crying over every mistake
We just keep on trying till we run out of cake.
So... People are actually using the term "prompt engineer"...
wait till people start calling it AI programmer
They did refer to people charged with vacuum cleaning PCs and reinstalling Windows as "programmers" too often in my childhood.
Though one of the reasons was that sometimes they filled both roles, and also had to look after plants.
No different than someone calling a janitor a "sanitation engineer". Fancy titles make people happy.
There are sandwich artists and sanitation engineers. Everyone knows they get paid like crap.
Unfortunately "prompt engineers" seem to be getting paid small fortunes when their job is essentially using a massive amount of computing power to commit various levels of intellectual property theft they hope no one will notice.
"Permission is Hereby Granted" always makes me sooo emotional
Quite the meta statement of mainstream music
This should be a standard feature of any ToC that people don't read anyway
Meh, Elton John did this with an oven manual…. On the spot.
Whow. This is both amazing and funny. It is also musically blunt and uninteresting, but still amazing.

I love how the melody was just kind of random and only existed because the ai was able to stay in one key, and I love how the ai completely failed to take advantage of the partial rhymes on the text to make it somewhat poetical, this is very comforting that ai still can't make a better song than i can in an hour and a half
That at least is a very creative way of using AI, nice.
This it's the kind of stuff what makes some people believe "AI" it's real intelligence.
Are you writing like this to set yourself apart from AI/LLMs?
oui
"prompt engineer"
"sanitation engineer"
it was "sanitation manager" last time
Kind of interesting. I could see this complimenting wait time music when you’re on hold with customer service.
Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome!
SO close. Just another five or ten seconds to finish the whole license. I would love to see someone cover this thing and tie it off.
Damn that track is fire, I'm saving it to my music library 😂
Wish it was the whole thing!
