Were you wanting critique on these as poems or songs or ...?
I'm at odds with this because I'm a musician and until recently 100% of music was made by a tiny percentage of humans that have ever existed, all musicians to some varying degree who have acquired particular skills to be able to make music of some sort. The fact that anyone can now write a prompt and produce a song is very disconcerting for me.
For me a song should be first and foremost about the music and the lyrics no matter how good will always be a secondary factor for judging quality. Good music can easily carry bad lyrics whereas good lyrics can never carry a bad tune to any degree. However not everyone is the same and some people are happy with a generic sounding song.
I'm intrigued as to why you've went with bossa nova style in all your pieces, it doesn't suit the lyrics as such. The tunes are pleasant enough in generic way. It's nice bossa nova but it hasn't really got any flare or passion, it seems to be devoid of emotion and this may also account for why I don't think it suits the lyrics.
I read earlier in the thread that you refuse to divulge your 'prompting technique' but I would be interested to know if you are asking for specific sounding voices or is it just what it is giving you, 'Frank Sinatra sings Bossa Nova'. I think AI responds better to very specific instructions, so have you experimented with asking it in this way?
It is kind of an intriguing concept and I do believe it will be a wonderful tool for some people. Have you ever tried to learn to play a musical instrument? If you were to learn an instrument for 6 months and then wrote to the best of your abilities a song with your lyrics and then performed it I guarantee that I would like it better than the stuff you've posted here simply because of its authenticity.
You need to find an Elton John to go with you Bernie Taupin.
If you post these lyrics as a poem in one of the critique forums and then give others critique you will receive critique back, if that is what your looking for, you did mention your "will to improve to be a lyricist".
Cheers for sharing
