Not being a programmer, I had never considered that "every line of code represents an ethical and moral decision." But I do tell my students they should consider whether their compositions are worthy of lasting 300 years, a la Mozart, Beethoven, Bach et al.
Well, Mozart potentially was something of a programmer, if he was the authour of the Musikalisches Würfelspiel system. It's interesting to think that concepts of generative music, even artificial intelligence, were present in the culture even then.
Yeah I'm sure composers have been scheming composition methods since Day One, LOL. I once wrote a song "backwards" because I thought of the last bar first. I finished the melody by writing each preceding phrase until I arrived at the beginning.
The oversight, regulation and reflection are all very warranted. Like you, I'm attracted about the potential uses of this technology for artists. Unlike you I'm not a developer but I'm very intrigued by how these models could assist non-programmers wanting to experiment in the space.
Dom, I've experimented just a few times with ChatGPT assisting me to write Processing code, and it actually seemed to give me reasonable results. The process does help me understand the code better. I do plan to continue this process again in the future.
Even if we had a limitless supply of energy through some process like fission, one has to ask with technologies like blockchain and LLMs: is there not a more efficient design?
Great read Frank. My wife wrote something on similar lines recently but focused on artistic creativity.

Much love from Portugal.
Thanks Simon, I'll check out your wife's piece. Looks interesting.
Cool.

Great idea!

Thanks for your comment Mark. Have you tried using an LLM for any ideas yet? I’m curious to know about people’s experiences with the technology.

Hi Mark, interesting to know, thanks. I hope it leads you to good things.
