Chat GPT writes a song in the style of Nick Cave
Sooo many great quotables in this one post. I’ve never even heard a Nick Cave song, but I like his blog and how he thinks about creativity and writing. And he’s not a big fan of our AI overlords:
“Songs arise out of suffering, by which I mean they are predicated upon the complex, internal human struggle of creation and, well, as far as I know, algorithms don’t feel. Data doesn’t suffer. ChatGPT has no inner being, it has been nowhere, it has endured nothing, it has not had the audacity to reach beyond its limitations, and hence it doesn’t have the capacity for a shared transcendent experience, as it has no limitations from which to transcend.”
Also:
“It’s a blood and guts business, here at my desk, that requires something of me to initiate the new and fresh idea. It requires my humanness.”
