Today I played around with ChatGPT in regard to playlist creation and general music info. The results are quite impressive. I ended up going pro account. ChatGPT is so much better than classic web search.
I want to showcase a few examples.
1. Playlists and data sources
At first I wanted to know if the AI can access my last.fm profile. At first it worked by providing my profile link.
Then I created several playlists based on my last.fm data.
Can you create a playlist based on my last.fm profile?
Certainly! Please provide me with a link to your last.fm profile, and I will create a playlist based on your listening history.
Create a playlist with 50 electronic tracks. Here's the link https://www.last.fm/user/xxxxx
Answer snippet:
Daft Punk - One More Time
Justice - D.A.N.C.E.
M83 - Midnight City
Boards of Canada - Dayvan Cowboy
Aphex Twin - Windowlicker
The Chemical Brothers - Block Rockin' Beats
LCD Soundsystem - Someone Great
Bonobo - Cirrus
Radiohead - Idioteque
Massive Attack - Teardrop
Caribou - Can't Do Without You
Four Tet - Angel Echoes
Moderat - Bad Kingdom
Underworld - Born Slippy .NUXX
The Prodigy - Breathe
That worked pretty well until I wanted to try again a few hours later. It seems last.fm blocked API access for ChatGPT.
Now I get the answer:
I'm sorry, but as an AI language model, I don't have access to your personal information or account on Last.fm or any other platform. For privacy and security reasons, I cannot access or retrieve personal data. If you would like me to create a playlist for you, please let me know your preferred genre or style of music, and I can create a playlist based on that information.
What still works well is to access data sources like MusicBrainz, Discogs, last.fm in a non-personal fashion.
