I asked ChatGPT to Suggest Albums to Listen to

There's a guy called Ben on Youtube who does some predictions for the future. In 2021, he made a prediction that the Queen will die. She passed away on his birthday. A lot of his predictions have scaringly come true like Harry Style's acting career. Some of the predictions he has made for this year terrifying; Elon Musk having a breakdown; India will go in a trade war; Trump will beat Biden in the elections; and ChatGPT will be shut down as they will deem it too powerful.

My views on AI aren't favourable. It can be a useful tool, but I don't believe that people should pay for it. It hasn't stopped me from playing with it a few times. But my moral concious is what stops me from using it often. So for this article, all of the AI will be quoted.

I asked Chat GPT to suggest 20 albums from 2023 based on my favourite 20 albums. After the first eight, the others are in no particular order. They're in a random order.

• Songs of Faith and Devotion by Depeche Mode - I feel like this album is my favourite of all time. It captures passion, mental health, addiction and a sense of emotion, I've been unable to find in other records.
• Mother Earth by Within Temptation - This album used to be the record I play when I work out at the gym. It's got the songs that took the band into the mainstream.
• METAL RESISTANCE by BABYMETAL - The last album with the original line up. I think it's a wonderful one.
• Hounds of Love by Kate Bush - The atmosphere in this record is incredible. Running up That Hill is a classic, but I love the other songs on this album just as much.
• Ghosts by Siobhán Donaghy - While she was away from the Sugababes. Donaghy did two fantastic solo albums. This is my favourite out of the two.
• Colours in the Dark by Tarja - I love a lot of Tarja's stuff in Nightwish and as a solo artist. I love this album the most.
• Klaus Nomi by Klaus Nomi - I discovered him by accident. This first record is crazy, unique and one of a kind. His takes on some songs are so unique I did not realise they were covers.
• Oceanborn by Nightwish - Boombastic, impactful, deep and beautiful. Out of the Tarja era of Nightwish, this album is my favourite. It feels like it's taking you to a fantasty world.
• Vespertine by Björk - I like her work, but her earlier albums have a special place in my heart.
• Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman - I feel bad for not listening to more of her albums, but this album is perfect from start to finish. Even though it is an old album, it feels like it was written yesterday.
• The Lost Tapes by Sugababes - The most recent album from my favourite pop group. I got to meet them this year and it was special.
• One Touch by Sugababes - Overload, Run the Cover, Soul Sound and New Year were the best songs on this album and they made perfect single choices. This is the record of my childhood.
• Human Being by Seal - Kiss From a Rose is still my fav and most played song. Even though the album afterwards wasn't a big hit, I like the overall tone to it.
• Some Dogs Think Their Name Is No by Black Casino and the Ghost - Boogeyman is a song I could have on repeat all day.
• Enter by Within Temptation - Within Temptation's early work is amazing. They still put out great stuff and aren't afraid to explore different genres.
• Lake of Sorrow by The Sins of Thy Beloved - Wonderful gothic metal album with violins.
• Without You I'm Nothing by Placebo - Placebo are another band I love and this album has some of my favourite songs from them like My Sweet Prince and Pure Morning.
• HIStory - Past, Present and Future - Book I by Michael Jackson - This is my favourite album from him because it's both a greatest hits and a song with original songs. Earth Song is one of the greatest songs ever recorded in my opinion.
• Queen II by Queen - You can't really go wrong with Queen.
• Voodoo-U by Lords of Acid - It's wild, crazy and I like this one the most. I love the rock and party vibe.

Out of the 16 Chat GPT has suggested to me, I think I am interested in the moist is the one by Virtual Harmony. However, I am not sure of these albums are real albums are just made up. As I could not find the first one on Spotify. After looking up the first 10 suggestions, I stopped. Whilst some of these artists are legit on Spotify, they did not have any albums that matched the title. Some od the results on Google were giving me novels. You liked to me, Chat GPT!
