ChatGPT for Writing Literature and Songs: End of the Road for Poets and Songwriters?
摘要
The emergence of ChatGPT is revolutionary, but its operation, depth, and capabilities are largely unknown. There is concern for the potential of ChatGPT and similar programs to displace or atrophy human intelligence. ChatGPT can write poetry, literature, and songs, but how much can readers and listeners identify computer-generated literature? How can ChatGPT change the need and future for poets and songwriters? What is the future of literature in schools and universities? This study created poetry, literature, and songs from ChatGPT, and surveys whether readers can recognize them as computer-generated. People were found to have some ability to identify computer-generated writings, implying that ChatGPT for now, is not the end of the road for poets and songwriters. Rather ChatGPT is another technological advancement that must be understood and overcome by poets, so that they can produce literature and songs that appeal more to people than computer-generated literature. But with the ongoing rapid improvement of platforms like ChatGPT, we are not far away from when computer-generated literature can no longer be identified by readers. In some years, software will be able to give tunes, music, and voice to their self-generated lyrics. There can be computer-generated video of attractive humans lip synching and dancing to the songs. Will future rock concerts have all computer-generated lyrics, voice, music, and video?
