When ChatGPT was newer I saw a lot of posts about raps made by it, there were always this same flow. I tried to get it to make decent rhymes, but it cannot get out of the most cheesy typical rhyme scheme possible. This was 3.5, maybe 4 or other models are better. I found I could make interesting lines if I said something like “write a paragraph with as many words that rhyme with ‘taken’ as possible”, and then you could do that with a few rhymes and twist those around to make an interesting verse.
If you give it a different form to follow (iambic pentameter, sonnet, etc.) it kind of works. I’ve only tested it with poetry. I’ve gotten responses technically comparable to a human, but even eliminating the “nonsense” words it throws in, it still has no artistic soul… The closest I’ve gotten to art was specifying “in the style of Edgar Allan Poe”, but it was only good because it copied a few of his poems verbatim…
That’s true about ‘in the style of’, I did get some interesting responses when I said in the style of Allen Ginsberg, but it would just rip lines straight from him at times. As someone who enjoys creative writing I don’t see a necessarily beneficial use for AI to be extremely capable at creating poetry haha but I am interested in the mechanics of it and how it could be improved.
Yeah, I’ve only ever used it for speechwriting with very, very heavy modifications to the output. If I need a really long speech I’ll feed it an entire outline, summary, etc, then have it rewrite stuff about 20 times. Then I rip the best parts from each output, join them together, and proofread, rewrite, repeat until it’s good.
I doubt that was chat gpt. It has cinsistent meter and rhyming. It was a human
Chat GPT is good at rhyme and meter. That’s actually what makes it easy to tell - its poetry has too much rhyme.
It also rhymes words that have similar alphabetical structure, but poor phonetic similarity.
Like suspect and perfect.
They do rhyme though, at least in my accent
