The 3-Day AI Writing Sprint

Use AI to spark an idea, then make it undeniably human.

This challenge uses AI as an initial spark for a new song. You will generate a basic musical idea with AI, then spend the next two days rewriting, performing, and infusing it with your own unique musicality and emotional perspective.

The plan, day by day

  1. Day 1Use an AI music generator to create a 4-bar chord progression and a simple drum loop. Separately, use an AI text generator with a personal, emotional prompt (e.g., 'the feeling of returning home after a long time') to create a list of evocative phrases and words.
  2. Day 2Ignoring the AI's phrases for now, write your own original melody and core lyric over the AI-generated progression. Focus entirely on making the melody convey the emotion from your Day 1 prompt. Record a simple voice note.
  3. Day 3Listen back to your voice note. Now, re-record the progression and drums yourself, adding human feel and imperfections. Finalize your lyric. Does the complete idea have a clear emotional resonance? Does it feel like your story, not a machine's?
