Origin Story
The lyrics are a bit old and salty, like me. Written from scratch without AI or a GPT. I typed these lyrics into an AI, suno.ai, with the intent of it making a house beat. And it did a pretty good job.
Now I want to acutally be able to npm install this-beat
so that's the purpose of this repo.
Boomer Talk
If you know me, I'm a javascript disliker. Been disliking React since around version 0.12.0. I've enjoyed and got paid to work with all the other languages mentioned in the lyrics. However I think this song is pretty good.
Generally I'm also pretty pessimistic about AI and it's usefulness. For example this song. A human, me, wrote the lyrics, so they're ok. They're by no means perfect, like why would you import a token, don't hardcode your tokens kids, certainly not in an external module. The human part is not perfect.
However the AI generated part, although it goes hard, needs lots of work.
- The song cuts out at the 2 minute mark. I also ran the AI to continue the song but it didn't wrap up nicely.
- The instructions were to "build up and drop for the chorus", but it builds and drops the "I'm a senior dev" line. That's not what I asked.
- It sounds like it's recording static along with the song.
- The lead singer sounds like she's saying "node module" singular.
- It didn't sing the line correct at the beginning "got to r m f my", but you need the
r
for recursive, "rm: cannot remove 'node_modules': Is a directory". - suno.ai didn't give me the DAW files, or individual tracks to go and edit it.
It's a funny toy right now, but not actually useful. It will take more work to make this a real track than it's worth.
