The lessons I’ve learned from my brief time generating AI songs are ones that musicians have likely also taken to heart: first, if some part of the lyrics doesn’t translate well when sung, just drop it. Also, the main goal is to create a song that you’d love to listen to over and over. I’ve succeeded in doing so with the following song, based on my oldish free-verse poem “A Visit From Truck-kun,” an ode to isekai (that requires a severe rewrite, probably even a reimagining).

Isn’t that fantastic? My two regrets: the annoying typo at the beginning (having written “tell” instead of “tells” in the lyrics). Also, that I couldn’t extend the song again to give it a proper intro.

Anyway, the song was generated using the Udio service, so far the best AI music generator.
