The Soundtrack of My Life: Crafting Playlists with ChatGPT
Music has an extraordinary ability to shape our experiences and moods. It distracts us from the chaos of daily commutes, serves as the backdrop to our memories, and even helps us start our day with a sense of purpose. Lately, I’ve harnessed the power of AI to enhance my musical journey, specifically by crafting mood-based playlists through ChatGPT. Let me take you through the playlists it generated and how they mirror the rhythms of my life.
A Joyful Escape from Winter Blues
With snow blanketing my world, I turned to ChatGPT for a playlist designed to lift my spirits. I prompted it with a simple request: “Build me a 10-song playlist for whenever I’m in a joyful mood and want to stay happy.”
The AI responded with a vibrant mix, considering my love for games, anime, and wrestling. Here’s the upbeat playlist it curated:
- “September” – Earth, Wind & Fire
- “Good as Hell” – Lizzo
- “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” – Justin Timberlake
- “Don’t Stop Me Now” – Queen
- “Shut Up and Dance” – Walk the Moon
- “Happy” – Pharrell Williams
- “Dynamite” – BTS
- “Good Life” – Kanye West
- “On Top of the World” – Imagine Dragons
- “Livin’ on a Prayer” – Bon Jovi
While the list had some undeniable hits that made me want to belt out lyrics, I tweaked it based on personal preference. Earth, Wind & Fire and Queen stood out, but I decided to omit tracks by Lizzo and others that didn’t resonate with me. Music, after all, is deeply personal, and this playlist was my joyful anthem.
Lifting the Weight of Sadness
Music can also serve as a salve during melancholy moments. I wanted to create a playlist that could gradually uplift me during those inevitable waves of sadness. My query to ChatGPT focused on a design for emotional recovery.
It delivered the following list:
- “Fix You” – Coldplay
- “Vienna” – Billy Joel
- “Breathe Me” – Sia
- “Rise Up” – Andra Day
- “Unwritten” – Natasha Bedingfield
- “Dog Days Are Over” – Florence + the Machine
- “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” – Kelly Clarkson
- “Titanium” – David Guetta
- “Walking on Sunshine” – Katrina and the Waves
- “Don’t Stop Me Now” – Queen
I was pleasantly surprised to see familiar favorites like Coldplay and Billy Joel included. The nostalgia attached to their songs alone made adding them to my playlist a no-brainer. However, other selections didn’t hit the right emotional notes for me, illustrating how playlists can reflect individual tastes.
Pumping Up for Workouts
Feeling energized and wanting to work out, I sought a high-energy playlist focused on hip-hop to push me through my exercise routine. I instructed ChatGPT to curate an energetic list. Here’s what it generated for my “Beast Mode Activated” playlist:
- “POWER” – Kanye West
- “HUMBLE.” – Kendrick Lamar
- “X Gon’ Give It to Ya” – DMX
- “Till I Collapse” – Eminem
- “No Hands” – Waka Flocka Flame
- “Dreams and Nightmares (Intro)” – Meek Mill
- “DNA.” – Kendrick Lamar
- “Sicko Mode” – Travis Scott
- “All the Way Up” – Fat Joe
- “Black Skinhead” – Kanye West
ChatGPT showcased its love for hip-hop through these selections. Although I found Waka Flocka Flame’s contribution amusing, I opted to exchange it for another track that better fit my workout’s rhythm.
Creating Spotify Playlists
If you’re inspired by my journey, creating these playlists on Spotify is straightforward. Simply connect your Spotify account via ChatGPT and command it to curate your personalized playlists based on your preferences. With just a few clicks, your tailored playlists will be ready for listening.
The Takeaway
My foray into playlist creation with the help of ChatGPT has been a delightful experience. From joyful anthems to uplifting ballads and energizing workout tracks, the AI has helped me find musical companions for every mood. While some suggestions were spot-on, a few didn’t quite hit the mark. In the end, it’s about curating what resonates with you.
So, whether you turn to ChatGPT or dive into the depths of your own musical library, may you always find the perfect soundtrack to accompany your life’s journey.
