Cool! Slightly off topic, but maybe an idea for someone to pursue... I figured out at a very early age that I could not memorize text in a script, or poetry, or even flashcards very well. But because I started playing piano at a very early age, somehow I could remember song lyrics verbatim. I could probably sing/recite at least 200 CDs worth of lyrics end to end. When I wanted to learn Spanish, memorizing songs was way more helpful than anything else I tried. Even if I didn't understand all the words at first, suddenly a lyrical phrase would become clear when I heard some of the words in a conversation. I'm not sure AI is up to writing really memorable songs yet. But for those of us with some kind of synesthesia, there could be lots of associations that aid memory, like colors, melodies or rhythms.

Combination of gpt-4o for lyrics, and Suno for songs made me and my wife pretty much stopped listening to regular music over last year. I will try your idea to create a bunch of Spanish and Italian (2 foreign languages I was/is learning) songs to see how well it would work for me.

  I recommend giving openrouter a try to quickly test multiple LLMs. In my experience claude sonnet 3.5 is slightly worse in super strict rule adherence but way better at wordplays than 4o so might be better for lyrics. I'm suspecting a secret sauce in their secret tokenizer. Don't know yet about deepseek-chat, which I'm migrating all my apps too.

Interesting! Well I think you could use my reformulator script for that if you give it examples like "home<>casa" => [lyric about casas]. There is a decent chance it works out of the box! If you try it tell us how it goes in a github issue! Also I recommend giving openrouter a try to quickly test multiple LLMs. In my experience claude sonnet 3.5 is slightly worse in super strict rule adherence but way better at wordplays than 4o so might be better for lyrics.
