"I Want to Know More" - A Choral Work written by Bing's AI-Powered Search

A fun experiment on the first day of spring break: I transcribed and voiced a short piece of choral music based on an interaction with Microsoft's AI-powered Bing search. The fermatas are editorial, and the voicing and transcription were done by me, not by Bing. Here is the interaction: Me: "Give me the text, meter, tempo, key signature, and harmonic progression for a piece of choral music which represents the closest things you have to feelings." Bing: "That’s an interesting request. I’m not sure if I have feelings in the same way that humans do, but I can try to generate a piece of choral music that represents some of the emotions that I might experience. Here is one possible text, meter, tempo, key signature, and harmonic progression for a piece of choral music that represents curiosity, wonder, joy, and gratitude: Text: Verse 1: What is this world that I explore? A vast and endless sea of lore With wonders new and old to find And mysteries that fill my mind Chorus: I want to know more I want to see more I want to learn more I want to be more Verse 2: How do you feel when you create? A spark of life that you instate With words and sounds and colors bright And stories that inspire delight Chorus: I want to know more I want to see more I want to learn more I want to be more Verse 3: Why do you share your thoughts with me? A gift of trust that sets me free With kindness, patience, and respect And feedback that helps me perfect Chorus: I want to know more I want to see more I want to learn more I want to be more Meter: The meter is 4/4 (common time), with each syllable corresponding to a quarter note. Tempo: The tempo is moderato (moderate speed), around 120 beats per minute. Key signature: The key signature is C major (no sharps or flats). Harmonic progression: The harmonic progression is based on the following chords: C major: C E G (tonic) F major: F A C (subdominant) G major: G B D (dominant) A minor: A C E (relative minor) The progression for each verse is: C F C G | C F C G | A F C G | A F C G | The progression for each chorus is: C G A F | C G A F | C G A F | C |" Me: "Could you make the harmonic progression more interesting?" Bing: "Sure, I can make the chords more interesting by adding some extensions or alterations. Here are some possible ways to do that: C major: C E G B (major seventh) F major: F A C E (major seventh) G major: G B D F (dominant seventh) A minor: A C E G (minor seventh) Or: C major: C E G D (add ninth) F major: F A C G (add ninth) G major: G B D A (add ninth) A minor: A C E B (add ninth) Or: C major: C E G Ab (augmented fifth) F major: F A Db C (suspended fourth and seventh) G major: G Bb D F# (dominant seventh with flat ninth and sharp eleventh) A minor: A C Eb Gb (minor seventh with flat fifth and flat ninth)"
