ChatGPT to Help Write Lyrics - Bad Idea In My Opinion
An old man (that'd be me) muses about using computers to write lyrics. Helpful tool, or is it denying you the chance to say something unique? Depends on how you use it?
Here's the link to the video by Holly Exley that I referenced - you should watch it. It's really good.

    Back in the day there were midi companies selling general midi tracks. The problem is all the people using them sounded cheezy and lazy. Cheezy because general midi was a standard that played sounds that were basic sounds and sounded like the worst of available generic horn sounds , organ , electric piano etc. making your own is time intensive, esp for a basic player like me. I did have my own sound and sounds used were the best I could program , as close to the record as possible. It was fun but too old now…lol

    if you are always using it in the studio and sitting, it doesn't matter much anyway. I saw a guitar years back (strat but can't remember if fender made... I think it was though), and some old timer was passing by seeing me look at this thing wondering why it was painted and never drilled for strap holes. he said way back they made models for studios. you can tell by the lack of strap holes for they played sitting down. I thought that was interesting

    Great video! If writing songs is something that you like and do for fun, why outsource it to an AI? A wood carver could use a CNC and make much more money, but I doubt that it would be fair to call the final product art and take pride in it. The whole DIY mindset is about achieving something on your own, at least, how I see it. I would be interested in knowing more about your songwriting process, including lyrics.
