I'm particularly interested in any AI assisted software. Assisted being the keyword; I'm not interested in AI generated slop, but something that makes intelligent suggestions as you write.
- I try Rhymezone, but it rarely helps me find a word I hadn't already though of.
- The Complete Rhyming Dictionary [1] as it also helps find great family rhymes - but is a very manual process.
- ChatGPT voice chat for object writing - mostly just because I'm more of a vocal processor - I forbid it from writing anything, and instruct it clearly to just listen and give me a list of the metaphors, imagery, and descriptive words that I tell it. I've always struggled with motivation to do object writing, but I quite enjoy doing it audibly like this.
- ChatGPT as a proof-reader. Eg "Review the following song for me. What would new listeners think the song is about and saying". You need to be careful though, because it will often tell you stupid stuff like "the melody is great" even though you haven't shared a melody.
- ChatGPT as a sounding board when I'm battling over a very specific phrase or wording. More as a sounding board though, as I usually don't use it's suggestions.
- Logic Pro - The latest version lets you add chords and have it auto play some basic AI session players - which is great for fleshing out the basic ideas, and having something I can play on repeat why I write lyrics. Once I'm happy with the song, I'll then start replacing the AI tracks with human created tracks.

"AI art" is plagiarism and not an art at all.
I like Rhymezone too, and the MacOS dictionary's thesaurus, as they sometimes help me think of words I don't come up with otherwise. But I feel like with songs - the good stuff always comes when you let yourself listen to your unconscious, like all the really good material and images are buried in there somewhere and you just have to trick yourself into finding them.
I only use the drummer as close to ai as it gets.
Hardware is better at this: notebook, pencil, baseball bat. "AI art" is plagiarism and not an art at all.
Could you expand on this? How does a baseball bat help you in songwriting?
Its very early, but I have been shaping 3 songs with it already and am starting to get some friends to try it.
I am self taught with songwriting/music so I think it might reflect my own idiosyncratic songwriting process more than anything else at the moment.
Happy to open up a preview if anyone is interested though.
Shoot me an email if interested (in profile)
