That makes sense. I suppose my answer is that for most questions I ask chatgpt, I'm ok with the answer being a bit wrong. For example, I asked it how long & hot to heat my oven when I baked cauliflower. It would have been a pity if we burned the cauliflower, but the answer was spot on. Likewise it gave a great answer when I asked for a simple crepe recipe. (The crepes were delicious!).
Another time I asked this:
> C minor and G major sound good together. What key are they in?
And it answered that incorrectly, saying there wasn't a key which contained both chords. But thats not quite right - they're both contained in C harmonic minor.
When you ask it to write code, the code often contains small bugs. But that can still be very helpful a lot of the time, to a lot of people.
And its also utterly fantastic as a tool for creative writing, where you don't care about facts at all. For example, the output of prompts like this are utterly fantastic:
> I'm writing the character of a grumpy innkeeper in a D&D campaign and I want the character to have some quirks to make them interesting for the players. List 20 different weird quirks the innkeeper could have.
I just put it in and got things like this:
4. Height Requirement: Refuses to serve anyone taller or shorter than him, with a height chart at the door for reference.
9. Historical Enthusiast: Dresses and talks like he's from a different era, insists patrons do the same to get service.
- dekhn 3y agoUh.... C minor and G major are keys/scales, not chords https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_minor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_minor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_chord https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_chord (I am not a musician, but I know the circle of fifths, keys, and chords).
- josephg 3y agoMaybe I would have gotten a better answer if I specified the C minor and G major triads. I assumed chatgpt would figure that out from context. (And it sort of did, but it said they didn’t have any shared key).
- dekhn 3y agoCan you try and report back (I don't want to try to reproduce your exact experiment).

I’d like it to say “C harmonic minor” but honestly my knowledge of music theory might not be good enough to properly evaluate its response. What do you think?
- dekhn 3y agoboth chords are in the notes of the key/scale, but I don't know that they would sound good if played together or sequentially.
