Just yesterday, I was doing a little research and asked an ChatGPT for the lyrics of a particular Beatle song just to save time. I got a big pop-up that this probably violated the Terms of Service—ok... but it also displayed the full lyrics to the song. It wouldn't let me copy them, however.

No big deal, plenty of places that would let me copy. BTW, nearly all of those lyric sites are run by Hal Leonard, largest music publisher in the world, and royalties are paid to the rights holders. I found this out by digging deep into MUSE Group's mission statement when they bought Hal Leonard last December.

I digress... the project was to get lines from famous songs of the 1960s that used the word, Love. I would ask for a dozen lines from songs by the Beatles, Stones, Monkees, Kinks and so on. In each case, GPT used the name of the band in the reply.

What was appalling was how often GPT got it wrong. I saw the same James Taylor line credited to both The Beatles and the Monkees. So I asked for 12 lines from James Taylor and the lines never came up. The lines? "I feel fine anytime she's around me now. She's around me now, almost all the time and I feel fine" (from Something in the Way She Moves).

Artificial? Yes. Intelligence? Not that I have seen.
