Not chat gpt specifically. My mini project to get fammilar with these models was, taking a bunch of guitar tab, make a tokenizer for tab, trained a small gpt2 like network and had it write new guitar tab.

Some of it was alright. It was cool seeing it have musical structure. I think I need more gpus and faster ones to get it to do anything really interesting though.

I wanted to try fine tuning it on specific bands and artists after training to see if it could copy their style lol.

Why would I possibly do that? I would no more do this than use an AI to listen to music for me. What's next I get an AI to have sex for me, to watch the sunset so I can focus on work?

AI should do tedious stuff for artistic people. Instead it’s doing artistic stuff for tedious people.

I was wondering how in the world they got ChatGPT to do this, but it's actually interesting:

  "Got ChatGPT to write some midi music ... used another ChatGPT prompt to create the computer generated voice in python and compiled the track." 

  "ChatGPT told me to write a MusicXML file that I uploaded to https://www.sinsy.jp/ ... Sinsy is an HMM/DNN-based singing voice synthesis system. You can generate a singing voice sample by uploading the musical score (MusicXML) to this website."
WAV files for both attached in the original post.

Btw there is a lot of AI that creates "audio" - voiceovers, background music, etc. So you don't need to use ChatGPT for this, but still interesting it can produce MIDI and MusicXML files from it.

As a non-artist sometimes I find artists somewhat tedious, they all seem to pretend they are doing something unique and creative yet it doesn’t look particularly interesting or different to me, instead more tedious.

You’re a creative professional with deep domain expertise, yes? If you don’t mind sharing what you do, I think I can make the point in a way that will resonate more for you.
