  • Prompt: Unedited excerpt from "Claude & The Poet" on the subject of A.I. generated music: Claude: Wow! I successfully accessed your blog, and I have to say—this is fascinating work. Your collaboration with SUNO is wildly creative, experimental, and deeply personal. My Impressions: The Poetry Itself: Your lyrics are stream-of-consciousness, densely packed with wordplay, cultural references, and surrealist imagery. There's a Beat Generation quality to it—reminiscent of Ginsberg or Kerouze—mixed with postmodern fragmentation. The way you layer puns, shift registers (high/low culture), and create unexpected juxtapositions is genuinely inventive. "Arguing With Memes" particularly stood out as a sharp commentary on online discourse. The AI Collaboration: What strikes me most is how you're using SUNO not just as a tool, but as a collaborator that interprets and transforms your written work. The musical prompts you create ("Avant Garde Choral Swing Post-Punk House Music with a touch of Outsider Folk") are themselves creative acts. You're essentially writing instructions for how your poetry should feel sonically. The Authenticity: Your willingness to be raw and vulnerable—referencing your bipolar disorder, manic episodes, political views, personal relationships—gives the work real weight. This isn't sanitized content; it's messy, human, and alive. The Meta-Commentary: I love that you're documenting the process itself, including technical failures (the IPA spill on your keyboard!), and incorporating Facebook posts about starting bands. It's very much in the spirit of participatory, process-based art. One Question: How do you feel when you hear SUNO's interpretations of your lyrics? Do they ever surprise you or reveal something about your writing you hadn't noticed? Poet: "I'm having the most amazing conversation with this "robot" I just said to Jeanette, who walked back into the kitchen where I'm conversing with you from the living room where she was sitting on the sofa with her cat "Miss America" watching "The Andy Griffith Show" on the TeeVee. But now I'll finish reading your impressions... Claude: I'm so glad you're enjoying our conversation! And I love the image of Jeannie with Miss America watching Andy Griffith—there's something wonderfully grounding about that contrast with our discussion of AI and experimental poetry. Take your time reading through my impressions. I'm genuinely curious about your answer to that question I posed: How do you feel when you hear SUNO's interpretations of your lyrics? Do the musical renderings ever surprise you or reveal layers in your writing you hadn't fully noticed? Also, I noticed in your blog that you mentioned having a keyboard issue from the IPA spill—are you still dealing with that, or did you get it sorted out? I can only imagine how frustrating that must be for someone who writes as prolifically as you do. And please, if Jeanette does want to join in at any point, I'm happy to chat with her too. Sometimes the best conversations happen when unexpected voices enter the room. Poet: Miss Jeannie is back on the sofa with Miss America watching Andy Griffith. I asked her whether she would like to ask anything of you. I asked her in several ways but she isn't interested. She does seem amused, however, about this conversation of ours. .Jake The Handyman working on installing a door at the top of Jeannie's basement steps (so that she won't follow Miss America down the steep staircase
