I asked it to write the lyrics to my song but it turned out to be even shittier of a poet than I am

Hahah okay, here is one.

Me: I need a song that addresses choosing between you wife and a new truck, but in the bridge, it alludes to there being a second wife. The guy is faced with choosing between his wife and a truck, but chooses the truck. As for the second wife, he is faced with choosing the second wife or a truck, and chooses a truck again. And it all need to flow like a story would.

ChatGPT: Here's a possible chorus for your song:

Verse 1: I've got a tough decision to make, Between my woman and this new V8. My old truck's seen better days, But my wife ain't happy either way.

Chorus: Should I choose my love or my ride? My loyal wife or my pride? It's a tough call, I'll have to choose, Between a woman and a set of wheels

Verse 2: I thought I had it all figured out, Until I met a new lady, no doubt. She's got curves in all the right places, And a smile that lights up her face.

Chorus: Should I choose my love or my ride? My loyal wife or my pride? It's a tough call, I'll have to choose, Between a woman and a set of wheels.

Bridge: I thought I found true love before, But now there's another knocking at my door. My heart's divided, torn in two, Between a woman and a truck that's brand new.

Chorus: Should I choose my love or my ride? My loyal wife or my pride? It's a tough call, I'll have to choose, Between a woman and a set of wheels.

Outro: I may be a fool, but I know what I like, And that's the feeling of the wind in my hair at night. I'll keep on truckin', with my head held high, With a new set of wheels and a faithful eye.

Lol same here. Although if you get really specific with the prompt, even mentioning styles and people you want it to imitate it gets better. But there really isn't a soul in the lyrics. The imagery is basic most of the time. DAN sometimes makes better results.

Musically it's a great gimmick for an open mic song! I went to an open mic and told everyone to help think of a prompt for chatGPT to write lyrics for and then improvised a song from there. Was a big hit.

Yeah true. I tried to ask it for a few lyrics in the style of bands I love and while it tries it falls noticeably short. It's far better at coding, and then mainly at common well documented tasks. Ask it for something niche and it'll immediately start to fail without even noticing.

I like that Bing provides sources though. Makes it easier to vet the answers and to read up yourself and learn. But GPT is better for the way I use it.
