Recently, I embarked on a project to create a song as a tribute to my colleagues' exceptional work in a specific domain. My tools? OpenAI for lyric generation, tailored to my specifications, and Suno for vocal and track synthesis. The resulting song was a blend of AI-driven creativity and my vision. However, as I prepared to share this creation on Slack, I pondered the nature of authorship in the AI era. Was I truly the 'creator' when automated processes played a significant role?
This led to a broader realization: the song wouldn't exist without my initial concept and the nuanced curation involved in its completion. It's not merely that AI executed 90% of the work; it's that my 10% contribution leveraged these advanced tools to achieve a 90% outcome, a testament to the power of technology in amplifying human creativity.
In a world where websites, businesses, and SaaS tools can be launched in mere minutes, it's becoming increasingly clear that ideas and the ability to effectively harness technology will be paramount. This shift raises fascinating questions about the future of creativity and the evolving role of the human in the creative process.
My key message is this: "So what if your business heavily relies on OpenAI models?" The unique prompts you craft hold intrinsic value. They don't diminish the time, expertise, and knowledge you invest in shaping the results. Take designing a 3D chair using an AI system, for instance: achieving optimal results hinges on your ability to precisely describe what you need, a skill that itself depends on your understanding and knowledge of design. In this context, delving into classics and broadening your educational horizons is more crucial than ever. It equips you with the nuanced articulation needed to harness AI's potential fully.
P.S. An AI model assisted me in crafting this comment, but the experiences and insights I've shared are my own, as is the majority of the words in this text. The advantage I gain from AI is the better articulation of my ideas. This tool is akin to a dictionary, a grammar checking tool, or a system that translates my native tongue into English.
I would argue the AI model also made your message more wordy and less likely to be read by other humans.
But mostly, since you raise the question of value : I think your song serves as a cool novelty and gift to share, and I've been wanting to do this, so kudos to you.
However, the value of the song (as a cool novelty and as a gift) is likely going to plummet exponentially once we are submerged in a deluge of other stream-of-thought songs.
I believe that although there are use cases for fully-AI-generated content (a. as a novelty, b. as a quick throwaway business case), people actively don't want to
- talk to bots
- watch/read/listen to AI-generated content if it's labeled as such
That's why we chose (as an AI company working on video) to not provide video-generation features (only video editing from actual footage)... because I think it'll be less likely to catch on than you'd imagine at first glance.
You are making some broad generalisations. I had a conversation with ChatGPT this morning while exercising. Enjoyed it as much as listening to a podcast.

I don't know what you meant by that, but if it meant that you copy-pasted generated language, please don't do that in HN comments. I mention this because the following sort of rhetoric is definitely not what we want here:
