If you want to listen to the MIT license, sung by an AI-generated female jazz singer ;-D

Glad I'm not a musician making entirely forgettable, generic novelty songs because that niche is now covered by prompt writers ๐Ÿ˜„

I like the idea of this particular song and would love for some human mellow jazz singer to have had a spot of viral success with it. The quality of the product is quite eerie to be honest!

The way I see it, this is an addition, not a replacement. I mean, the MIT license has existed for decades. Plenty of time for any interested human singer to have done it.

We're going to see a lot of amusing ideas brought to life that would otherwise have simply not been worth the person-hours.

I mean, I do love a so-bad-it's-good novelty song so why not?

That's one way of looking at it.

Another way of looking at it is that we've had image macros and memes for a long time, and part of the charm and success of the format is precisely that it requires very little effort, anyone can do it, and there are a million variations. I don't have a problem with the same idea in audio form.
