ChatGPT has some understanding of music theory but produces some pretty simplistic results.

This song is about The bureaucrats in Washington.

I ask: please suggest musical chord progressions to this song using the Aeolian mode with a few extended chord forms.

AI responded: The Aeolian mode is a natural minor scale, so using chord progressions based on the natural minor scale will work well. Here are a few chord progressions that use the Aeolian mode and include some extended chord forms:

Verse 1:

Am - F - C - G
Am7 - F9 - Cmaj7 - G
Chorus:

C - Am - F - G
Cmaj7 - Am7 - Fmaj7 - G
Verse 2:

Am - F - C - G
Am7 - F9 - Cmaj7 - G
Chorus:

C - Am - F - G
Cmaj7 - Am7 - Fmaj7 - G
Bridge:

G - Am - F - C
G9 - Am7 - Fmaj7 - Cmaj7
Outro:

C - Am - F - G
Cmaj7 - Am7 - Fmaj7 - G
These chord progressions can be adjusted to match the style and genre of the song, and you can play around with it to make it sound more suitable for the song.

Perhaps the AI understands more than I do. It appears to consider the Cmaj7 and Fmaj7 chord forms as producing dissidence. I ask it several other related questions about dark dissident chord forms for this song written in a four-measure style. It continued to produce pretty simple one-chord-per-measure results.

I am not sure how to ask it to produce rhythmic patterns.
