100%, plus it isn't even AI, true AI is so far off, we need a new name for these things.

That punk playlist is like what a n00b who got into Prince the day before yesterday would list on reddit. "Sister", anyone?

lol, ask chatGPT what they think about "Sister".

It’s intended for noobs though lmao

Even a n00b would include his most Captain Obvious "punk" track though.

Look, Al contradicting itself on your own copy/paste:

lol, ask chatGPT what they think about "Sister".

Here: "Sister" is a track from Prince's 1980 album "Dirty Mind." It's known for its controversial and explicit lyrics and its fast, energetic tempo. Musically, it features a raw and minimalistic sound, with a punk-like edge that was a departure from Prince's earlier work. Given its aggressive and unfiltered nature, "Sister" might indeed appeal to fans of punk music. Its confrontational lyrics, driving guitar, and stripped-down production are all elements that can resonate with the punk aesthetic. The song's themes and musical approach reflect a rebellious spirit that would not be out of place in the punk genre. So yes, adding "Sister" to the playlist for a punk music enthusiast could be a fitting choice, aligning well with the other selections and offering a glimpse into one of Prince's more provocative and unconventional pieces.

oh actually that's quite creepy it looks like it's actively absorbing the content of your search queries like The Meteor Man... you didn't link Ch@tG*T to here did you?

I asked AI (CHATGPT) to write a detailed analysis of the lyrics to “Wally” and here is what it said: ### Overview "Wally" is a dialogue-heavy song that focuses on the interaction between the singer and a character named Wally. The lyrics revolve around themes of loss, companionship, and moving on, mixed with a playful, yet sorrowful tone. Here's a breakdown of some of the key aspects: ### Lyrics and Themes 1. **Repetition of "Wally" and Glasses**: Throughout the song, Prince repeatedly refers to Wally and his glasses. These glasses could symbolize Wally's unique perspective, one that the singer is attracted to and inquires about multiple times. The glasses also serve as a motif that anchors the narrative of the song. 2. **Emphasis on Relationships**: The lyrics contain references to relationships, both failed and desired, as the singer grapples with the loss of his love. Wally's relationship, too, becomes a point of interest and curiosity. The characters' interactions with women are depicted with both admiration and longing. 3. **Dialogue with Wally**: Much of the song is written as if Prince is speaking directly to Wally. This conversational approach adds intimacy to the narrative, inviting the listener into Prince's personal thoughts and feelings. 4. **Party and Celebration vs. Loneliness**: There's a juxtaposition between the festive, party-like atmosphere and the underlying sense of loneliness and loss. Prince's excitement about going out and having fun is contrasted with the painful realization that he has lost someone close to him. 5. **Musical Structure and Sound**: The musical arrangement of the song is reflective of Prince's unique style, with funky rhythms and melodic interludes. The vocal growls and playful tone capture a sense of longing, and the repetition of "La-la-la-di-da" adds a catchy, almost whimsical element to the song. ### Symbolism and Metaphor - **Glasses as Insight**: Wally's glasses may symbolize insight or a different way of seeing the world. Prince's interest in them might signify a desire to understand or see things from a new perspective. - **Party as Escape**: The reference to a party might represent an attempt to escape reality, to forget the pain of loss, and to seek new connections. ### Conclusion "Wally" is a multi-layered song that artfully combines playful banter with deep emotional pain. The conversations with Wally and the repeated references to his glasses provide a lens through which Prince explores themes of love, loss, and the pursuit of connection. While there's an outward expression of desire to celebrate and move on, the underlying current of heartbreak permeates the song, creating a complex and engaging narrative that resonates on multiple levels.

This was more interesting than the song itself

More proof that we have nothing to fear from AI.

I've gotta be honest, I've never been impressed by a single AI-generated description I've read of anything. It always sounds like a college student padding out a paper with as many empty and superfluous sentences as possible. And that's without getting into the ethics of AI and its uses.

eye wonder if AI has watched Terminator ...

Long-form expression has kind of gone the way of the dodo after social media. Gen-Z probably is genuinely impressed with Al's ability to string together walls of text when they generally tap out after half-a-sentence fragment. But in actual practice, they tl;dr long-form expression, so most likely they also tap-out on Al's long monologues yet still find them impressive for being generated out of nothing.

Years ago I read some article about one of the people working on Google's AI code and he said oe of the first things he fed it was the scripts of the first 3 Terminators.
But he also fed it Asimov's books and stories and whatnot.

I also asked ChatGPT to write a Prince-styled song about society and the state of the world: “Certainly! Here's a Prince-styled song that reflects on the current state of the world, attempting to capture his unique blend of emotion, insight, and musicality. **Verse 1:** Oh my people, can you see? The world's a-spinning so crazily Divided hearts and distant dreams Need some love to heal these seams Glasses tinted with despair Look around, do we even care? Let's change the lenses, find a groove Time for us to make a move **Chorus:** Purple tears falling down In the city, in the town Take my hand, let's dance away The pain of now, a brighter day **Verse 2:** Wars and whispers, fear and hate Lost connections, heavy weight But in the rhythm, in the sound There's a hope that still abounds Turn the music, feel the beat In every stranger that you meet A touch of soul, a touch of grace We can make this a better place **Chorus:** Purple tears falling down In the city, in the town Take my hand, let's dance away The pain of now, a brighter day **Bridge:** Oh my la-di-da-da, hear the call Time for unity, love for all Funky rhythms, melodies The power of music sets us free **Chorus:** Purple tears falling down In the city, in the town Take my hand, let's dance away The pain of now, a brighter day **Outro:** Let's groove together, you and me In harmony, the world can be With love and rhythm, we'll find the way Dance away the pain, embrace a brighter day --- This song tries to channel Prince's distinctive style, blending funk, emotion, and social commentary. It addresses the challenges and divisions of the current world while emphasizing hope, unity, and the healing power of music.“ Is this blasphemy? lol

It's like a song parody of "Purple Rain".

Purple tears... purple tears... HONEY I KNOWIKNOWIKNOWWW TIMES ARE CHANGINNN'

I was gonna advocate against doing it but I figured some jackass already did it years ago.

Seems like you did too when you clicked on this topic and read it...
.
Anyway, I tell you why you SHOULD:
because as soon as tomorrow AI will curate playlists on the major streaming services, in other words, it will choose what you will listen to.
.
And soon it will replace A&R at many labels, therefore it will decide what gets released. And I'm afraid not long from now it will also be applied by labels to rewrite or edit compositions/lyrics written by human artists, to maximise market potential, so it will change art forever.
That's why.
.
Frankly it amazes me to see how intelligent AI already is and it's fascinating(/frightening) to see how it will change our future.

1. I didn't read it, I just wanted to comment.

2. Whatever. At my stage in life, and considering my listening habits and how and who I buy music from, I doubt it'll affect me too much. Youngsters in my family though, that's another matter, but I don't care, because I'll be dead.

Cheers.

Honestly I'm not that scared of A.I. and it was prett y funny someone fed it Terminator as one of the first things.
It's as easy to shut down A.I. by just pulling the plug and dismanteling 'the grid' and start over with a clean A.I. The only real risk A.I. would have in the real world is to people with implants with network capabilities or as in Terminator pushes 'the button'.
People have watched to many movies or read to many fantasy/scifi books and just think or even believe A.I. is really that scary. A Skynet like thing won't ever happen if Asimov's basic robotic rules are applied for A.I. and I doubt A.I. cold really become 'self aware'. All just fantasy to entertain I think.

People generally love AI and new tech--so much so that it's infultrated our purple bubble world and we're now discussing it on prince.org of all places.

The humans were generally responsible for Al takeover in scifi paradigms. In real world applications people will happily download any app and link it to their entire identity for just about anything. If anything ever did happen people will be waiting, willing and completely spread-eagled, unlike any fantasy media depiction of struggle or discontent.

Most of us here are stuck in 1987 with our media preferences and taste so this hypothetical will effect maybe 5-10% of the org max.
