On Wednesday, prompt engineer Riley Goodside tweeted an AI-generated song created with the prompt “sad girl with piano performs the text of the MIT License,” and it began to circulate widely in the AI community online.

    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.

        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.

    This should be a standard feature of any ToC that people don’t read anyway

    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.

    Kind of interesting. I could see this complimenting wait time music when you’re on hold with customer service.

    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.
