> Co-written by a language model and OpenAI researchers
Researchers co-wrote all the lyrics. This is one place where reading the fine print matters. Super impressive stuff, but I also wonder what had to be tweaked.
Just know that: much of the stuff OpenAI and other research orgs put out (including mine) are heavily cherry-picked. Most of the time its pumps out gibberish, but in the off chance it doesn't it gets used as marketing material.
All you have to do is click through to see all the samples and it becomes clear how incredibly cherry-picked the ones on the front page are. It is a cool project but it is very clear how much work this technology will need before it is useful in any application.
Cherry-picking is exactly what artists do best. They will want this technology as a new tool in their toolbox. I expect some future genre of music using it's successor (like autotune).
There is a huge chasm between more monkeys than atoms in the universe typing scripts unseen and a bunch of GPUs generating a few hundred samples from which researchers can cherry-pick.
