My Open Education Global friend and colleague Jan Gondol sent me his song via email and has kindly agreed to me posting it here.
Jan says:
"OK, this may be a weird song, but my first association was this: Weekend fun: AI-generated song about the MIT license – First, the text of the song is the MIT license (how cool is that)? Also, even “amateurs” can make stuff like this with AI. And finally, it makes me think about the nature of openness and the future of education (are we all going to have a very personal tutor who can teach us pretty much anything? what is the role of human educators? will we transition to project-based learning and educate ourselves through creation of digital artifacts with the assistance of AI?)
Anyway. That’s my song… ;-)"
Thanks a lot Jan for this song. An AI-generated song where the lyrics are the text of the MIT open source software license, performed by a melancholic pianist is definitely a weird song. I really appreciate your thoughts and questions on what this means and what its impact will be on the nature of openness and the future of education. I too wonder how AI will impact music and education.
