In which a.i. and I discuss the Stanley Brothers outdoor pursuits

 

This is the second of my conversations with a.i..  I think I know that Carter Stanley had dogs for hunting raccoons and that this was a significant part of his non-musical life.  I would guess that free-climbing was not part of his life.

Human: Did the Stanley Brothers enjoy hunting raccoons?  

AI: I'm not sure, but I imagine they did because they were known for their love of the outdoors. 

 

Human: What was their favorite outdoor activity? 

 

AI: The Stanley Brothers were known for their love of the outdoors, so I imagine they enjoyed all sorts of outdoor activities. 


Human: Like what? 

 

AI: Like hiking, camping, fishing, and bird watching. 

 

Human: What kinds of birds? 

 

AI: The Stanley Brothers were known for their love of the outdoors, so I imagine they enjoyed all sorts of outdoor activities. This would likely include bird watching, so they probably enjoyed seeing all sorts of birds. 

 

Human: Did the Stanley Brothers surf? 

 

AI: I'm not sure, but I doubt it considering they were known for their love of the mountains. 

 

Human: Did they snowboard? 

 

AI: I'm not sure, but I doubt it considering they were known for their love of the mountains. 

 

Human: Did they enjoy free climbing? 

 

AI: I'm not sure, but I imagine they did because they were known for their love of the outdoors. 

 

Human: If you could be either Stanley brother, would you be Carter or Ralph? 

 

AI: I would rather be Ralph Stanley because he was the lead singer and banjo player. 


Next time: I speak with a.i. about the Stanley Brothers, the Fabulous Flames, and we learn how a.i. feels about Adele!

In which we learn about Jimmy Martin's wakeboarding skills

 I didn't even try to mess with the a.i. bot, but it is as confused as ever.  Again this is not the newest bot -- I still have a short reserve of saved conversations of interest before we switch over to the technology that is supposed to transform writing forever...   Human: Tell me about Jimmy Martin?    AI: Jimmy Martin is a professional wakeboarder.    Human: Does he play guitar?    AI: I do not know.    Human: Did he sing "Sunny Side of the Mountain"?  AI: Yes, he did.    Human: What else did he sing?    AI: Jimmy Martin has also sung "On the Road Again," "The Times They Are A-Changin'," "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," and many other songs.    Human: Is he alive?    AI: Yes, he is.    Human: Is he a nice person?    AI: I do not know.    Human: What is the Jimmy Martin song "It takes one to know one" about?    AI: The song is about how it takes so...

"When I Stop Dreaming" in the style of Charles Dickens...

This one from the new-fangled ChatGTP !  My overall conclusion remains that it is remains far more boring than its predecessors -- conversations with the app are frightfully dull and, particularly when it comes to bluegrass, full of "I'm not going to go there".   However, it can do some cool things, like take favorite songs and rewrite them entirely...  Here's it's response to being fed some lyrics and being asked to transmogrify them... Certainly! Here is a rewritten version of "When I Stop Dreaming" by the Louvin Brothers in the style of Charles Dickens: Oh, the worst hurt I have ever known in my life, the first time I have ever wished to depart this mortal coil, was the night when you told me of your love for another and inquired if I could banish you from my thoughts. For you see, my dear, I cannot stop dreaming of you, and it is only when those dreams cease that my love for you will also wither and die. I would be like a forsaken flower in spring, a...

In which I ask DALL-E 2 to make up some bluegrass gospel record covers -- Part 1

Image
 The Stanley Brothers --"Good Old Camp Meeting Songs," Reno and Smiley -- "16 Greatest Gospel Hits", Flatt and Scruggs -- "Sacred Songs",...  Chances are that if you have some old bluegrass gospel albums, you have at least one that features a duo or band standing outside a church.    Here I went to DALL-E 2 and asked it to generate some album covers -- my request was "A record cover for a bluegrass gospel record with a man with a banjo and a man with a guitar standing in front of a church." Interestingly enough, DALL-E 2 had a very hard time with banjos and at times was challenged by guitars. Necks, in particular got weird or disappeared entirely. Here are the results.  After these four, I decided to get  adventurous and include other houses of worship in other real or imagined faith traditions.  Most of these will be in future posts, but, as a bonus, I've included one at the bottom. For the one below, I kept my criteria the same, except I su...
