I have been using AI to write music for a few months now and you can find a number of songs I\u2019ve produced on the <a title=\"Grace-filled Music\" href=\"https:\/\/mikehillebrecht.com\/index.php\/grace-filled-music\/\">Grace-filled Music<\/a> page. I\u2019ve found this type of work rewarding in the sense that it is very difficult to capture in current music streams the fullness of truth which can come forth with lyrics that are focused on the goal ahead rather than the path already traveled.<\/p>\n<p>What this project is going to entail is having AI assist me writing my next series of postings. Now some might consider this to be a futile attempt not to dig deep and do the work for myself. They may even feel that the product will be cheapened and not be <em>\u201cSpiritual<\/em>\u201d or <em>\u201cBiblical<\/em>\u201d enough. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and theirs doesn\u2019t concern me &#8211; as usual.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Model<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To build this experiment properly I had the AI model evaluate all of my writings on this site for content, theme, structure, and style. This will form the appearance of each posting so that they can keep in alignment with my previous work.<br \/>\nNext, I fed it a sampling list of my personal reading and musical library. A cross section of over 250 books and over 60 albums gave the AI model an ability to determine what my preferences are in terms of categories and genres. These were then analyzed to develop a personality profile which is coupled with the assessment of the writing from this site.<\/p>\n<p>The experiment will be to see just how well AI will be able to capture the essence of what I am attempting to put across to people who are on this spiritual journey. Ultimately, I am the final judge of what is put forth here and I will not lower the standard for content that doesn\u2019t align with what I believe. To that end, AI has to pass all content through a model that clearly establishes what I believe. If it doesn\u2019t align, it doesn&#8217;t appear.<\/p>\n<p>One thing you will notice with these postings will be a better use of reference material. When you read as much as I do and subsequently write about some of the findings which have been uncovered, it becomes difficult to reference a past posting or a book title. So, I\u2019ve instructed the AI model to insert more of these references first, to keep it true to the prior content and second, use the book list sampling as a tool for your personal discovery.<\/p>\n<p>As this experiment runs its course, I hope that the prior postings will be remixed into newer content which creates a fresh revelation for each of us. I hope that you\u2019ll stick around and see how this unfolds. I will keep you updated on new developments as they arise. I\u2019m not yet certain how long this will take, but I will be faithfully working behind the scenes to assure all you tin-foil-hat folks that the end of the world will not come on my watch here.<\/p>\n<p>So, as my favorite hero Buzz Lightyear is known to say, \u201cTo Infinity and beyond!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the course of the next few weeks\/months, I am going to be running an experiment with technology.
