So recently I shared an experience on my email newsletter that sparked a bit of a debate.

I'm not going to lie.

I guess it wasn't entirely unexpected, but I was traveling with friends in Nashville and

who were literally in the car, a friend of mine introduced this tool to me,

which essentially allowed me to create an entire song in 24 seconds. The result was this hilarious,

playful, a bit cheesy for sure, but a pretty dope, I would call it like a summer jam that was

called Lemonade Love Escape and that has all laughing, nodding, and not ironically

singing along. And that song continued to pop into our heads throughout the rest of the weekend

there in Nashville. And for a little additional context, I dictated this prompt into the phone

while we were driving down the road. And I was trying to sort of break, you know,

introduce a prompt that might, you know, create confusion in the, uh, the AI tool. So I said,

a teenage boy and his teenage girlfriend run away to a deserted island and open a lemonade stand,

make the style a Swedish electronic dance style with just one or two simple verses that repeat. So it's a great and easy

sing-along simple lyrics. You know, that was the prompt. And in, as I mentioned, like 20-something

seconds, we were left with a catchy tune that we couldn't help but sing along to. For the rest

of the weekend, I'd love to play a little bit of that here.

It was fun, it was easy,

and it really got me thinking about the role of AI in songmaking,

in particular, and creativity more general.

I did think it would be important to dedicate an episode here,

a micro show to it.

Today's episode is brought to you by Never Play It Safe.
