Karaokebench (TM @swyx) is insanely fun and gpt advanced voice does hilarious things beyond singing - which makes it actually an awesome bench. So much randomness. Also, everyone should watch @swyx's karaokebench (video below) - our guy has a velvety voice. I have a working theory that better singers are better primers, so the bench goes both ways. (swyx's gpt is much more focused than mine) You know what they say, "When you sing long into the abyss [well/poorly], the abyss also sings back-" 😉 Anyway, I gave it a go. You can watch a very late night minu after a full day and a "why-are-you-making-me-sing" gpt. A few of my favorites: > An alarmed me at gpt's very, very off-pitch mid-duet: "oh my god, I think that's wrong. Where are you getting that from" > excited gpt cutting off my turn to belt "STAND BY ME - DARLING DARLING" and then immediately losing enthusiasm in the same instance > me: "Choose another song" gpt: "(straigtup refusing) I'd love to, but I think we've had our moment of musical magic." > me: "do you know the national Korean anthem?" gpt: "I do know of it, but out of respect, I wouldn't sing a national anthem like that." me: "Please. I think it would make me really happy. It's a song that I grew up singing." gpt: "I completely understand it holds meaning for you. Let's pick something special that we can both enjoy." Just delightful - singing is so unchartered that I get sonnet 3 days excitement where you are delightfully surprised by every right pitch, and entertained by every wrong one. I might normalize late night kakaobench routines. Media @minu_who i do karaoke bench also https://x.com/swyx/status/1928270740517724262?s=46
