Maya, redux
I had previously in 2006 written rap lyrics about the Maya art package crashing on me:
More recently in 2023, and having forgotten I had written those lyrics, I asked ChatGPT to write some lyrics about Maya crashing on me:
Now, I am proud, and also a bit disturbed, to announce that Suno.com has arranged and performed the version from 2023.
I'm disturbed how good this is. I can feel for myself now the fear that artists have that they will be put out of business by AI. I've been wondering when programming will be obsolete, since I make a living in programmer and programmer-adjacent roles. So far I'm not too worried - I've found in my experiments that it is good for a few things but not really good at projects that require genuine architectural understanding.
Boy oh boy is the turmoil coming. I hope we humans adapt and figure out how to make AI into a tool that amplifies our natural creativity. But I dunno how we get from here to there without a lot of disruption.
I'll see what I can do with the 2006 version.
Here we go. It's so rude! But not much different from what I hear on the radio.
Bonus track!
