I’ve asked Chat GPT to write a song for me

Hello frens, I hope you are all doing great! It’s time for a new adventure, and boy, do I have news for you. In the last weeks my humans have become acquainted with Chat GPT and because we are doing all the things together I’ve also delved more in the mysteries of the AI tool.

My humans use it for boring stuff… like doing complicated math, getting new ideas on how to make their LinkedIn posts more posh, get solutions for the code they are working on… ugh.. don’t like when I see how little they use the tool’s potential.

I however, being such a visionary decided to take the problem into my paws and use this tool as it was intended to be. Thus I have decided to have it write a song for me!

What is Chat GPT

ChatGPT is an AI-powered language model developed by OpenAI. It has been trained on a massive amount of text data from the internet and can generate human-like text responses to a given prompt. It can answer questions, converse on a variety of topics, and generate creative writing pieces (Source).

If you haven’t had the chance to use it still, you can create an account here, make sure to tell them that Merlin referred you, maybe I’ll get some treats! 😃

How does it work

Well, simply put it’s a chat, if you’ve ever used a chat you’ll quite fast see that it’s pretty simmilat. The main difference is that at the other end it’s not a human… or dog for that matter, but an AI (which stands for artificial intelligence).

In the image below, you can see how my human used the tool to create a joke about me… very funny, what I might add.

Preview of the Chat GPT interface

I am using my human’s account, because until I’ve decided to create an account, due to the high demand I wasn’t able to create one for myself. However, I found this to be an advantage it’s much more simple to let my human to do all the work and chatting and leaving the important things to me… like tail wagging and barking.. you know, someone should attend those as well!

If you are unable to create an account for yourself, but really want to, hang in there, even though the queue line is big, you will eventually be able to create an account.

Tip about making the most out of Chat GPT

One thing my humans and I discovered (mostly because of my superior senses) is that in order to make the most out of Chat GPT’s abilities is to keep your chats (threads of discussions) separate. In other words don’t cram everything in one discussions, rather think at discussions as different topics or ideas.

For example, in this image, you can see three different chats with different topics enclosed in themselves. This will help twofold:

  1. It will help you get organized (believe me, after a while you will need this).
  2. It will help the system determine the topic or the main ideea and generate more personalized and specific responses for the topic at hand.

Example of Ghat gpt learning about the topic at hand

In the example below you’ll be able to see how my human, Andrei, asked the AI to first write a phrase about me, which Chat GPT nailed, without knowing me in person… dog I wanna say.

However, after this, my human just asked to tell a joke about me, but without specifying, my name or breed, however the tool just learned those aspects from the line above and used them in an smart manner to generate… a joke. What can I say, my human is humorous at times.

Use Chat GPT to create a song for your furry fellow

Want to do something special for your furry friend? Maybe ask Chat GPT to write a song for him!

It’s very simple! Just enter the chat and say something like: “Create a song for my golden retriever, Merlin the Golden.” and let the magic happen!

I will add the end product below, hope you’ll find it interesting, and if you have musical inclinations make sure to sing along! 🧑‍🎤 (If you do record yourself, make sure to DM me at merlin.thegolden on Instagram)

Merlin’s Song

Verse 1:
He’s a golden boy, with a heart of gold,
Always by my side, never growing old,
With his fur so soft and his eyes so bright,
Merlin the Golden, my guiding light.

Chorus:
Merlin, oh Merlin, my faithful friend,
Through thick and thin, you’re with me till the end,
With your wagging tail and your happy grin,
Merlin the Golden, you always win.

Verse 2:
Every day is an adventure, with Merlin by my side,
Running through the fields, we’ve got nothing to hide,
Chasing after balls, splashing in the stream,
Merlin the Golden, you’re my golden dream.

Chorus:
Merlin, oh Merlin, my faithful friend,
Through thick and thin, you’re with me till the end,
With your wagging tail and your happy grin,
Merlin the Golden, you always win.

Bridge:
I thank my lucky stars each day,
That Merlin came to me to stay,
My heart is full, my soul is light,
Merlin the Golden, you make everything right.

Chorus:
Merlin, oh Merlin, my faithful friend,
Through thick and thin, you’re with me till the end,
With your wagging tail and your happy grin,
Merlin the Golden, you always win.

My reaction

Although I’m not used to using pictures of other dogs, because I am a fine specimen myself, I couldn’t picture a more perfect depiction than the Doge meme.

One more tip & trick!

You can ask the chat to provide an endless array of song versions for your dog or cat. For example, after it has finished writing the first version, you can ask for another by saying something like: “Rewrite Merlin’s song to contain a more Irish accent.” or “Make the song sound like a pirate shanty” and the result could be totally different. For our last request above we’ve got the following:

Verse 1:
He’s a golden mate with a heart of gold
A faithful sailor, brave and bold
He’s Merlin the Golden, the finest in the fleet
A top-notch pirate, no one can defeat

Chorus:
Merlin, oh Merlin, the pride of the sea
He’s the best first mate you’ll ever see
With a wag of his tail and a bark so true
He’s my faithful shipmate through and through

Verse 1:
He’s a golden mate with a heart of gold
A faithful sailor, brave and bold
He’s Merlin the Golden, the finest in the fleet
A top-notch pirate, no one can defeat

Chorus:
Merlin, oh Merlin, the pride of the sea
He’s the best first mate you’ll ever see
With a wag of his tail and a bark so true
He’s my faithful shipmate through and through

What can I say? I can take on any pirate from the seven seas! Arr…

Conclusion

In conclusion, if you want to surprise your furry fellow with something very special, compose a song for them using Chat GPT. If you are musically inclined, make sure to add some notes to the song and sing it along with your pet, it will definitely appreciate it!
