there aren t many kids there at mwc this year, so i wonder what the best reactions from the adults have been. one thing, i make them surprised, even if we don t any manual, they can learn how to use a robot. my robot also didn t need a manual, although maybe i should ve taken a driving test first! meanwhile, while i leave spencer to play the part of a robot or is it a robot playing the part of spencer? other machines are also trying to take some work away from us, like creating music. chris fox has been finding out more. 8-bit version of eurovision theme plays # circus coming to town. # oh oh! # tearing my heart apart. # oh oh! the a! song contest is back for a second year and unlike last year s show, which was eurovision themed, this year, anything goes. # i feel the wires, i feel the wires. # wires. # my blood flows and my heart breathes. like eurovision, the goal is to create a song that will impress the public and a jury of experts. # like a bird flying
from writing a question and it giving you an answer to writing a few sentences and it just completing them. and i wanted to write a dance track. i don t know why, ijust got into my head that eurovision requires a dance track. and so, i put in the following prompt: and i thought it was gonna come up with a kind of, like, you know, proper dance type thing. and it returned walking like a zombie in the dark as a completion and i thought hmm! that s really strange and unearthly and odd! once you had your lyrics, how did you turn that into a song? how did you decide whether it was gonna be a ballad or a banger? it felt naturally that it was falling into a ballad. a few years ago, i was commissioned to analyse the eurovision song contest, so i had a lot of data about what s successful in eurovision. if you ve got a song that s too happy in a major key, it s not gonna do that well at eurovision. you want something in a minor key.
