Hi Joanne,

First, the song is over two years old. I am not sure GPT3 was even in use then.

This is a quoit from TechRepublic "To assist, the lyrics in the released songs “have been co-written by a language model and OpenAI researchers.” The lyrics for the most part pass muster aside from maybe a line or two in the Sinatra nod.

Quoit from Nerdist. They are referring to the Alan Jackson song.

"The songs created by Jukebox are stunningly realistic. The track immediately above, for example, was generated by Jukebox after only receiving lyrics co-written by a language modeling tool and OpenAI researchers. Meaning that Jukebox was able to take the provided lyrics and generate an appropriate singing voice, instrumentals, and genre. Jukebox literally created all of that song, except for the lyrics, entirely from scratch."

From VentureBeat. This site has many of the technical details of how JukeBox works.

"But Jukebox has its limitations. While the songs it generates are fairly musically coherent and feature traditional chord patterns (and even solos), they lack structures like repeating choruses. Moreover, they contain discernible noise, and the models are painfully slow to sample from — it takes 9 hours to render one minute of audio.

Fortunately, OpenAI plans to distill Jukebox’s models into a parallel sampler that should “significantly” speed up sampling. It also intends to train Jukebox on songs from other languages and parts of the world beyond English and the West."

As mentioned, Jukebox, the second development after MuseNet, has been around for some time.
I think there may be a way to try this software, but I am unsure. My interest has been more technical than musical.

I am also interested in this developing technology's legal/governmental implications.

To date, there has been a lot of talk about regulating the social media companies such as Facebook, but not much action has occurred. That is most likely what will happen with AI issues.

I predict many lawsuits will be filed over intellectual property rights pertaining to AI.

“Amazing! I’ll be working with Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, and Buddy Rich, and you’re telling me it’s not that great of a gig?
