I read an article the other day about something a European guy wrote that went viral and he was being praised until someone ran it through an app that checks whether something is AI or human written. The checker said it was 100% AI but he says he wrote it 100% himself. I guess it's created a big stink in Europe. So I thought I'd run some of my song lyrics through it to see how accurate it was. I was able to run nine songs through before I ran out of free credits. It identified seven as human written and two as AI written. I thought that was pretty good. So I went searching for another checker to pit them against each other. I found one that would only let you do one check, so I posted a song I wrote back in 1979 in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean before AI was even a thing. It said it was AI written. The other one correctly identified it as human. While searching for AI or human checkers, I found a lot of links to sites that make AI sound human. So, it uses AI to make AI not sound like AI! - lol - Just for fun I gave that a try with the same song from 1979. I'll paste my first verse, then the "humanized" version. I'd have to pay to see more than one verse, but that's all I needed to see how much it butchered my lyrics. My first verse from Guitar and Pen: Lost within this kingdom, deep inside my mind, I search for a freedom that's so hard to find. A freedom so elusive, a memory's distant glow, Only in fleeting moments I've felt it come and go. Humanized version: Man, I'm lost inside this head of mine, Searching for something real, you know? That freedom thing, it's a slippery fish. Sometimes if feels like a flicker, a ghost of a memory. 😂

Can we post mp3 files of our playing?

From my show at Booked and Unplugged last month

After extended testing, I have found that the IRIN IN80 was properly functional, the guitar I am using appears to be one of the type that you have to keep the guitar turned up very high, but it did run continuously without auto-shut off. Actually, it ran and ran... literally over 8.5 hours, (at this point it was flashing for a half hour or so indicating low battery), it probably would have ran even longer, but I thought this was a sufficient run-down test, and frankly, 8.5 hours of guitar playing in 2 days is a bit of a chore, and make your loved ones feel abandoned. The really good news is a 1:23 charge time! I look at rechargable devices from a point of view of battery duty-cycle, how long it runs, vs how long it takes to recharge. In this case, it is nearly 7 to 1. So theoretically if you had 2 wireless devices, you could play continuously forever. I don't really have a means of testing range on the device without setting my rig up outside, so the best I can tell you that it remained linked throughout our apartment with no troubles, often through several walls, etc.

My IRIN IN80 wireless transmitter appears to have a defective sensor circuit, when I initially charged it, it operated normally, when the batteries got low, I recharged the transmitter and receiver, and since then the transmitter has turned off every 30 minutes exactly regardless of usage. It does not flash beforehand so it is going into auto-shut off, in this condition, it is worthless for performance, although still useful for practice. So what happens now? If I have to send this back, and wait for a replacement, judging from the initial shipping time, about a month without guitar? So far, the review of this product is not going well, so let's see how it goes when things go wrong.
