Does ChatGPT have the weapons to convince Michel Sardou of his talent as a composer? Obviously, the chatbot that has been impressing the entire world for several weeks has left the 75-year-old singer unmoved.
“That’s practical,” he first noted on BFMTV on Wednesday, when told what the chatbot was all about.
Therefore, we instructed ChatGPT to write lyrics in the style of Michel Sardou. Here is his proposal:
Pour 1:
France is in danger
Our uncertain future
The crisis worsens
And no one wants to hear it.
Chorus:
Where is France going?
Who will take care of her?
we are all responsible
Of your future.
Verse 2:
young people are worried
They see no future
The old feel abandoned,
And France sinks.
Chorus:
Where is France going?
Who will take care of her?
we are all responsible
Of your future.
Bridge:
It’s time to wake up,
To fight for our country,
It’s time to stay together
And to save France.
Chorus:
Where is France going?
we are all responsible
of your future,
It is time to act now.
Could Michel Sardou sing it? “No” he decides, reading the lyrics. Inevitably, we are far from Pierre Delanoë or Jacques Revaux. “It doesn’t particularly rhyme,” continues Sardou.
More effective on lectures or recipes, it is true that ChatGPT has not been greatly popularized by this song, despite the various tests that we have tried.
An AI to replace it? “It’s possible”
Something to reassure the singer about the risk of an AI replacing him in the hearts of the French. “In my opinion, I don’t think so,” he slips before tempering his judgment a bit.
Michel Sardou is not the only singer who is very critical of ChatGPT. The Australian Nick Cave was fierce, calling the text that a fan had offered him through ChatGPT “shit”.
“With all the love and respect in the world, this song is bullshit, a grotesque mockery of what it is to be human, and I don’t like it very much,” he said.
