Are you using AI?

I'm building two busker organs, one working with 3D printed pipes, one working with accordion reeds. The latter one needs an Arduino Uno Q, which runs a Linux system, and is designed to be programmed in Python. I knew nothing about Python, but with the help of an AI assistant, I've learnt a lot. Using Visual Studio Code, I also get a lot of suggestions how to write the code line by line. I read those lines and accept them (or sometimes change them) only after I understand them completely.

During the process (which has taken over 2 years by now) I've also written a lot of music for the busker organs. First I had no interest in creating music with the help of AI. What I did instead was I wrote the music by heart (as I always do), but I had AI design a title page image for each tune. That was fun! Although I'd very much like some human artist to do the art work instead. But since I can't pay anyone, and there's no profit prospects in this, I haven't even tried that path yet. Here's some of the AI art:

But I am working on AI generated music, too, just to learn how neural networks work. I'm using my 15 original busker organ tunes as training material for a neural network, the task of which will be to produce music that sounds like my tunes.

I also tested Suno, just for fun. It was fun, and a bit creepy, how it turned one of my tunes into something different from mine. I fed the beginning of one of my tunes into Suno and the result was so funny, that I might implement a Suno interface into one of my busker organs. Then again, using AI to create images or music tends to be a thing where I am the one, who creates and refines the prompts, then selects the best outcome. And that is kind of a creative process, which is interesting. But I rather spend my creativety on writing the music myself.
