Interesting. I've been using AI for a while. What I didn't know is that you can have a back and forth with the AI in the way you did. I don't know if I would actually want that.

I started using Joannes Lyric Lab when she first released it. It was rather basic and often produced results that were pretty useless or required massive amounts of work to get it into the semblance of a song. I eventually stopped using it because it simply wasn't doing a very good job giving me useful grist for my song ideas.

More recently, I've been writing using Suno AI. It seems to be quite a bit better at creating useful ideas. Mostly what I try to do is see what it gives me. I take that and edit it myself without any sort of back and forth. My editing can be a simple as changing a word or two in a verse or chorus or rewriting and entire line or the entire verse. What I'm looking for from AI is a good idea for me to then take and run with it on my own. Kind of like when I have worked with the several cowriters I have worked with in the past. It doesn't argue with me or tell me "it's done, don't change anything else" like I have had occur in a few collabs. Once I think I have a workable lyric, I start working on the music and doing the recording of the tracks.

It will certainly be interesting to see what AI in another year or so. It's certainly made huge steps forward over the last year.

Thanks for that insight
