Well, the tech is simple enough in use. You just fire up ChatGPT in a browser, and type in some text as a prompt. It could be anything. You hit enter, and read the output. Rinse and repeat.

URL: https://chatgpt.com/

Example:

You said:

Create a poem praising the secret life of dust bunnies, say may less than a dozen lines, with ABAB rhyme scheme.

ChatGPT said:

In corners where the shadows softly play,

The dust bunnies waltz in silent grace,

Their secret dance unfolds at end of day,

In quiet realms, they find their hidden space.

They gather whispers from the floor and air,

A gentle gathering of time's embrace,

In clumps of dust, they weave a tale so rare,

Of life unseen in every hidden place.

Oh, humble dust bunnies, small and free,

Your quiet world’s a wonder, known to few,

A hidden realm of simple mystery,

In every mote, a dream is born anew.

I could set it to music with UDIO.COM just as easily. It might come up with fine singing, melody and accompaniment. It often does. The lyrics would be just as absurd.

Not a chance. On the other hand: https://songwright.substack.com/p/llm-ai-easy-peazy-lemon-squeezy

It is an interesting tool - like all tools, it can be used for the benefit on people, or for malign purposes.
