At one point I had 4 copies of Mark Ronson’s Version… some how

I find it is a good way to sneak better music into a friend’s collection… Silently redistribute the spares.

My buddy put this prompt into GPT; “Please generate lyrics that would fit to the cadence of “we didn’t start the fire” by billy joel but with completely random words. Leave the chorus unchanged.”

Here’s the result, its rather amusing:

Verse 1:
Mango tango, jump and jive, raccoon, bee, a beehive
Coffee grind, paper jam, sandstorm in a little can
Laser pointer, traffic light, dragonfly in the night
Thundercloud, rainbow trout, dancing in a roundabout

Verse 2:
Astronaut, parking lot, lava lamp, astronaut
Soccer field, Ferris wheel, breakdance with a pinwheel
Copper pipe, neon sign, barcode on a porcupine
Soda fizz, car keys, orange in the deep freeze

Chorus:
We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning, since the world’s been turning
We didn’t start the fire
No, we didn’t light it, but we tried to fight it

Verse 3:
Saxophone, trombone, pizza on a stepping stone
Monsoon, caterpillar, bedtime at the thriller
Peanut butter, paper hat, radio in a laundromat
Typewriter, jellyfish, clapping at a goldfish

Verse 4:
Popcorn, shoelace, mail truck, car chase
Thunderbolt, pizza crust, water pipe, pixie dust
Candy wrapper, glue stick, yo-yo on a pogo stick
Thunderstorm, tulip stem, dog park, ATM

Chorus:
We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning, since the world’s been turning
We didn’t start the fire
No, we didn’t light it, but we tried to fight it

Verse 5:
Origami, bamboo, green tea, kangaroo
Crayon box, snowshoe, racetrack, baby blue
Daisy chain, hurricane, traffic cone, aeroplane
Disco ball, hazy night, parachute in mid-flight

@Peter69 I assume all those auto-completes are Google’s AI talking to itself.

@IvanDobsky

Yes. But it learns in geometric progression. :wink:

The first parts of the terminator are already ready.

Yeah - and it is a depressed autistic narcissist that lives in Texas trying to reproduce.

@ernstlx can you enter the German phrase “am i” into Google?

@jesus2099 can you enter the French phrase “am i” into Google?

Then both of you can you present the results here?

Without Google, I guess “Am I?” means “Le suis-je ?”.
What should I do?

In Polish IP there are such results:

It would be better if IP was from France. :wink:

If you want it to be the starting of a question, then it would be “Suis-je…”

I did it for you but I don’t know what you are looking for:

Very toxiq. :wink:

I want to know what modern Internet users are interested in.

That is not a modern Internet User. It is a subset of people dumb enough to ask a Google Search Engine a personal question. :laughing:

I also assume you are using a “Private Session” for these tests otherwise the responses are skewed by what Google things YOU want to buy see.

You are cruel. :wink:

There were so many songs…

You mean the phrase in German language (it’s not a German phrase)
2-bin-ich_google_en

My preferred search language is English (browser preference), so I set it to German and looked again:

Now that’s different, And interesting, because most search strings “in English” revolved around the question whether I’m sane. Set to German more general search strings appeared.

I also tried duckduckgo (offered search strings are independent of language settings):
1-bin-ich_duckduckgo_en
First string is also “am I stupid” - a fair question :smile:

(all in private window)

EDIT:

Look at the first string offered to search with google: “bin ich? - teste dich” (“am I? - test yourself”) ← That doesn’t look like a entered search string at all. It’s more likely a sponsored link.

@ernstlx no comments. :wink:
