AI Has Some Songwriting Skills: Here Are Three Examples Of Songs Written By AI...About Unions
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes a greater threat to artists and professionals across numerous crafts and occupations, as a part of our ongoing experimentation with various AI platforms, we decided see if AI was up to the task of songwriting.
Plot spoiler: It is (sort of).
Although these songs may not make Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello’s playlist, and the Songwriters Guild of America would likely frown on them, here are three songs written about unions, written entirely by ChatGPT:
1. A General Song About Unions Written By ChatGPT
(Verse 1)
In the heart of the city, under bright neon lights,
There's a force that's moving, fighting for their rights.
With hands worn by labor, yet spirits so strong,
Together in union, they're where they belong.
(Chorus)
Raise your voice, stand up tall,
In unity, we'll never fall.
For fair wages and respect, our call,
In the union, we find our all.
2. A song about the Great Steel Strike of 1959 and the Decline of the Steel Industry
(Verse 1)
In '59, the anvils of history rang,
Steel giants stood tall, as the workers' voices sang.
A strike for their rights, in the heat of July,
Under the smoky skies, where hopes were set high.
(Chorus)
Oh, the fires of the mills, once burned so bright,
In the heart of the nation, through day and night.
But the winds of change, they blew cold and dire,
In the tale of the steel, and the industry's pyre.
3. AI wrote this song about corruption in unions
(Verse)
In the shadows of factories, where whispers align,
Lies a tale of a union, once noble and fine.
But greed crept in slowly, under cover of night,
Turning promises to chains, in the flickering light.
(Chorus)
Where did the honesty go, in this hall of broken trust?
Echoes of the righteous, now covered in dust.
The spirit of the workers, betrayed and forlorn,
In the heart of the union, where corruption was born.
