We talk a lot about AI tools and their capabilities, but there's one crucial element that often gets overlooked in all the excitement: context. It's the secret sauce that transforms a mediocre interaction into something genuinely helpful, whether you're talking to a colleague, a board member, or an AI assistant.
Good explanation of how levels of context are important.
Slightly different topic: Are you familiar with Velvet Sundown? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzX1YFZW0jc) It is an Alt. Country Rock band that, after several people questioned its validity, turns out to be completely AI. They have pictures of the members and bios and everything. With that as a background, I turned to Suno.com and said it was a songwriter and record producer in Nashville. Having told it of my preference for bluegrass and country music, I asked for a 3-4 minute song with a solo singer for the verses and three-part harmony for the choruses. It gave me two pretty remarkable versions (not great lyrics, but really good instrument solos) You can hear one version at (https://suno.com/s/IfBkvGF6zaYey1sf)
There was a character limit to the prompt, so I didn't get to list the instruments I wanted or what type of story to be told. Still amazing with limited input. And they say that remixing and editing is on the way. That speaks to the opportunity you mention to improve and expand on results.
Have you or Joe tried these apps? There are now several out there, and it is really fun to experiment.
Hey Matt ... thanks. And I've only heard about Velvet Sundown on some podcasts (including excerpts from songs). We haven't tried any AI-generated music yet, but it's high on my list ... please share more of your work!! :-)
