FEBRUARY 2023
I asked ChatGPT to create a list of songs that hipsters might like for a mixtape about love.
I was initially impressed, but the list didn't feel entirely like me.
So, I suggested a few other songs that I really wanted on the list.
ChatGPT made some other suggestions.
What was really interesting about the process is that I felt like we were having a conversation. ChatGPT helped to push my creative process in some new directions that I would not have thought of otherwise.
Together we amassed 26 songs.
I looked at the list the we had created, and I was struggling with how to order them. A playlist / mixtape needs to tell a story.
I asked ChatGPT to arrange the list of songs for the most dramatic effect.
Here's what ChatGPT said about the order of the mixtape.
"This order of songs has been arranged for the most dramatic effect by building tension and creating a journey from the start to the end of the mixtape. The order begins with introspective and melancholic tracks, such as "Life on Mars?" by David Bowie and "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division, to set the mood and establish the theme of love and heartbreak. As the mixtape progresses, the songs become more upbeat and optimistic, such as "Love Story" by Taylor Swift and "Best Day of My Life" by American Authors, before reaching a climax with upbeat, energetic tracks like "I Love It" by Icona Pop ft. Charli XCX and "Electric Love" by BORNS. The mixtape then closes with more introspective and melancholic tracks like "Come Away With Me" by Norah Jones and "Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space" by Spiritualized, to bring the story full circle and give it a sense of resolution."
I then asked ChatGPT to trim the list to 23 songs since it is 2023. ChatGPT was able to identify 3 songs that least fit the story that the mixtape was telling. Overall, I think it as really intriguing story about hipsters falling in and out of love.
I hope you enjoy it.
I also needed a cover. Rather than creating it alone, I decided to work with AI again.
I started with Dall-E. I was NOT impressed with the results.
I then turned to Midjourney. Navigating the system of Discord is a little weird at first, but we were able to quickly create the image that you see at the top of this page. I really like the bottom right image, and I thought about having Midjourney create some alternate iterations, but I feel like this is good enough for now.
In this exercise, I learned that AI can actually enhance the creative process. It's like having a creative assistant so that you don't just have to live inside of your head.
I think that this is the start of a beautiful friendship.
Stay tuned for many more adventure with AI.
ENJOY!
