The Role of ChatGPT in Creating Music
ChatGPT helps people make music by sparking their creativity. It’s good at writing words that sound like a real person, and can imagine all sorts of feelings and experiences. When you give it a hint about what kind of music you want (happy, sad, rock, etc.), it can suggest tons of ideas for lyrics, melody, and how the song should be put together.
Think of it like a friend who helps you think of new things when you’re stuck. This lets musicians keep coming up with fresh ideas and write songs that are unique and meaningful.
