Can ChatGPT be used to write a convincing piece of music? By Tony Morton
ChatGPT is a natural language processing tool, driven by AI technology, allowing users to interact with a chatbot model and have human-like conversations. Users around the world have been bombarding it with prompts, from asking it to write history essays to explaining what Bitcoin is about, in the tone of Donald Trump. But can it assist in writing a convincing piece of music?
Tony James Morton is an artist, musician, composer and educator whose work focuses on real-time systems aesthetics. His work has been displayed and performed at; OXO Tower Bargehouse (London, UK), IKLECTIK (London, UK), BEAST FEaST (Birmingham, UK) and Studio 47 (Amsterdam, Netherlands). He currently teaches computer science and creative technology at St. Paul’s Girls’ School, London (UK).
