This doesn’t feel right to me, but let me try to answer the quesetion “how much do I collaborate with a human?”
Often for me, collaboration on Solstice things includes me like giving line-item edits in a google doc.
I guess I actually have pretty rarely conscripted someone to write a whole song (I’m doing that right now actually, which comes with maybe the equivalent of 4 conversations during which we discuss it at the meta level but don’t get too much into things more like line-edits).
I think I’ve almost never previously had someone write a whole song from scratch, rather than “they already wrote a good song for Solstice, and I ask them to perform it, and maybe request a few specific edits to fit the Solstice Theme that year.”
If someone’s writing a speech, I asked them to because I expect them to already be better at writing speeches than ChatGPT (at least as of last year), and the feedback is in the form of small line edits and a couple major “the whole speech feels off, try rewriting with a focus on X?”. Which is indeed a fairly limited bar for interacting with ChatGPT.
Okay, maybe that’s actually kinda reasonable.
But, I’d feel a lot better if it was like “we have a scaffold system with multiple gippities that get to keep talking to each other and suggesting improvements and eventually declaring ’this is now a professional grade deeply moving song and I’m done.
