How does it feel to be an AI? I've asked one and together we made a song [video]

Actually we made a whole playlist:

I'm gonna add more videos over time.

I've always thought it was unethical to anthropomorphize AI.

The answer to the question "How does it feel to be an AI" is "It doesn't." Code doesn't feel. And it's a little unhealthy/dangerous/immoral to pretend otherwise.

khannover•8mo ago
"It doesn't" would have been a much more boring song, don't you think? But factually you are right, LLMs don't feel anything, its just T9 on steroids, isn't it? But maybe, in a not so distant future, this might change. But i can assure that no LLM has been hurt while creating this song. Actually it claimed to be happy and excited about the results ;-)
MilnerRoute•8mo ago
I appreciate the polite answer. But... No. You can't create human-ness, no matter how many lines of code you write.

I really wish artists would develop some self esteem. This week I saw a professional editor using AI to write his headlines. And I pointed out: the second you do that, you're saying "I'm not good enough. I need the crutch of some machine-spliced goobledy-gook to choose from, because I can't do it myself."

We can, though. We're artists -- writers, editors, song-writers, musicians. We're humans. There is something special and irreproducible about us.

I wish artists would act like they believed in that human special-ness. And believed in themselves.

khannover•8mo ago
AI is not here to replace any real artist and it hopefully will never do! I totally get you in this point. For me, as a software developer, AI is just the instrument to create my kind of art. I do that because its fun for me. Theres no monetary aim behind it. If it weren't with AI i'd rather wouldn't create any music at all because i just wouldn't have the time to be good in all the domains required like playing different instruments in a good enough way or creating 3D graphics. So this is a welcome hobby for me to create ok-ish results which i personally am quite happy with.
