Here we go: In a parallel universe, where cats rule the world and you're their esteemed musical adviser, what would be your first decree to ensure a harmonious feline society?
VICE: I wanted to ask you the questions that AI gave me…īut…the first time I put it into ChatGPT, it gave me a lot of questions about cats…Īh yes, AI pushing the envelope, asking the serious questions. And I have to admit, relief washed over me as I realized AI wouldn’t be taking my job anytime soon. Then the prompt “Make these questions more meaningful.” While some of the ChatGPT questions were okay, most of them were really truly, astronomically shit. Then “Make more specific” was added multiple times.
That first prompt brought up a lot of questions about cats, and considering Thundercat has written multiple songs about his feline friend, Tron, it’s not surprising. “Questions to ask Thundercat in an interview with VICE magazine”. Especially with someone like me, an interviewer, a stranger, who came into the interview with weird, fucking ChatGPT questions. He gives you moments that allude to something bigger that he’s obviously, truly been thinking about, but doesn’t quite want to share. That maybe in the right environment, he’d openly be willing to elaborate on. I get the impression that Thundercat is in a moment of life pierced by introspection. Though the interview was pierced by ChatGPT’s programmed nature – that makes it seem like a disingenuously relatable and overenthusiastic middle-aged khaki pants, polo shirt wearing Dad – every now and then, underneath Thundercat’s answers to questions surrounding cats (which he has), anime (which he loves) and beards having superpowers (he has a beard), come moments of insightful ponderment. Right? And also sometimes you just want to keep things light, ya know? Or maybe you don’t.
