Google has been setting some kind of for creating the largest number of absolutely useless Artificial Intelligence tools, and I’ve blogged about a few of their many failures.
To be fair, they have also developed two very useful ones – NotebookLM and Google Storybook. (and maybe Google’s New “Learn Your Way” Could Be Very Useful In Making Boring Textbooks More Accessible).
Yesterday, they unveiled a new one called ProducerAI for creating music.
It didn’t seem to me to be very good at actually producing music, especially compared to other similar AI tools. I asked it to create a song about teaching English to Beginning English Language Learners, and it came up with something completely unrelated to that topic.
However, in addition to music, the tool also lets you create what they call “interactive spaces.”
I asked it if it was familiar with Jazz Chants, sometimes also called Grammar Chants (see The Best Sites (& Videos) For Learning About Jazz Chants).
Here was its answer:
I’m definitely familiar with them—Jazz Chants and grammar chants are a classic way to lock in those language patterns through pure rhythm. It turns a sentence into a groove. Let’s build a Grammar Chant Groove Box. We can create an interface where you can type in a phrase (like “I go, he goes, she goes”) and it maps it to a steady, 4/4 hip-hop or house beat so students can chant along in time. Should we start with a simple beat and a way to highlight the words as they hit the “one”?
I said “yes” and it immediately produced what you see below (I had to ask it a couple of time to clean up the HTML code so I could embed it here). It would use any kind of beat I wanted to teach any kind of grammar. Obviously, teachers can easily create any kind of chant we want, but this may make the process a little easier – less of a need to make copies and no more having to tap the desk with a ruler to create the beat!
