"AI advice, May 17 & 22, 2023 is based on a “conversation” between the composer and Chat GPT (May 17 and 22, 2023). The composer described his idea about writing a string quartet where the technical solutions, inspirational points, ideas, form of the piece etc. will be used following the suggested ideas of Chat GPT. After the discussion the composer also mentioned that a familiar friend and earlier colleague, Péter Tátrai mentioned in a Facebook post that a friend of him told him btw. that Chat GPT in French pronunciation means “the cat I farted”. The comments on this fact was also told the Chat GPT and it reacted on some way. It also suggested how to express the sound and meaning of this sentence (in English, French and Hungarian). The three movements of the piece refer to the sound and idea of this French pronunciation, and the discussion between the two parties. The texts by Chat GPT are also used in the piece on the voice of the performers." (Balázs Horváth)
