The subject of the song is simple, but effective: AI writes a song. Initially, the team thought it was wise to filter the dataset for English-language songs and generate lyrics by syllables, while "rewarding" their algorithm if it had generated the words 'AI' and 'writing a song', but syllable generation turned out to be not so easy. In the end, individual pieces of the lyrics were created by AI, and the team manually shifted the lyrics, chords and melodies into a coherent whole. Production wise, the sound image was carefully selected, with the team trying to summarize what AI intended and delivered.
Team COMPUTD / Shuman&Angel-Eye is very satisfied with what they have achieved in their free time with five people. Their process confirms that AI cannot (yet) create the feeling and depth that characterizes a person's creativity. This requires an important guiding creative human touch. René and Angela Shuman: 'AI could be a great addition to people in the future. Not the other way around.'
