"It doesn't" would have been a much more boring song, don't you think? But factually you are right, LLMs don't feel anything, its just T9 on steroids, isn't it? But maybe, in a not so distant future, this might change. But i can assure that no LLM has been hurt while creating this song. Actually it claimed to be happy and excited about the results ;-)

I appreciate the polite answer. But... No. You can't create human-ness, no matter how many lines of code you write.

I really wish artists would develop some self esteem. This week I saw a professional editor using AI to write his headlines. And I pointed out: the second you do that, you're saying "I'm not good enough. I need the crutch of some machine-spliced goobledy-gook to choose from, because I can't do it myself."

We can, though. We're artists -- writers, editors, song-writers, musicians. We're humans. There is something special and irreproducible about us.

I wish artists would act like they believed in that human special-ness. And believed in themselves.

AI is not here to replace any real artist and it hopefully will never do! I totally get you in this point. For me, as a software developer, AI is just the instrument to create my kind of art. I do that because its fun for me. Theres no monetary aim behind it. If it weren't with AI i'd rather wouldn't create any music at all because i just wouldn't have the time to be good in all the domains required like playing different instruments in a good enough way or creating 3D graphics. So this is a welcome hobby for me to create ok-ish results which i personally am quite happy with.
