Fun fact, there is a podcast with this concept (but not AI based) - Boring Books for Bedtime. I love it! Use it to help me sleep all the time.

I'll check it out, thanks! I also found one with a lady with a soothing voice reading bedtime stories that I really liked - "Dreamful".

Just found this comment. I'm a bit into generative / algorithmic music; here are two demos I made a year ago: https://fligenstein.bandcamp.com/ One is just piano, the other is keys and drums. On Bandcamp they are about 10' each, but they can be made of arbitrary length, without ever repeating themselves exactly (in principle... in practice it's likely there are exact repeats but they should be few and far between). I…

That'd be great! I guess the best would be something with very smooth changes, like the current background track. I made that one on mynoise.net.

Here's a first try: https://soundcloud.com/user-120372285/pcbg001

(This example is just one minute but it can be made of any length.)

Maybe the mix a little too much on the high-end, which may conflict with the voice. It should be tested?

Anyway, tell me what you think; I tried to sound a bit like the current background but with a more melodic feel and less industrial noise; but we could go in any direction -- if we know what to try.

I think that's great! Maybe the changes are a bit too rapid, but it's definitely in the right direction. Also my email is in my profile if you want to take this offline!

Ok super. I'll send you an email to start the conversation but I'm going to sleep now as I'm in Europe ;-)

In addition to others comments, these need to be much longer to be effective. 5 to 10 minutes is not long enough to really bore me Great idea though!

Yeah, unfortunately the model starts wanting to end the story after 5 minutes :/

Let's say one had a child and instead of music, you played these GPT3 generated stories, would the child then have been trained to speak by an AI, and if so, what else can we do? Hypothetical and unethical, but that never stopped Skinner, or any of them really. It's something we're going to have to consider.

It probably would not teach them anything because what the AI was saying would be unrelated to the child’s environment.

Yeah, it's getting a bit dark these days.

... then suddenly there is a Prime Minister of Everything, which had me burst in laughter. Also at the beginning there seemed to be one little girl (Amelia) and one witch (Sarah), and then there were now two little girls (plus the witch), and one of the little girls stood between the two little girls, and later on there appeared to be three little girls. The girl duplicating over and over sure got me hooked, kind of…

I agree, it's fascinating, isn't it!
