Hey folks, I've been wondering if ChatGPT can actually recognize songs just by their lyrics or descriptions. Anyone tried this out? Curious how accurate it is or if it's totally off sometimes. Would love to hear your experiences or tips on how to get better results!

Does anyone know if ChatGPT can handle identifying songs in other languages? Tried a few but results were mixed.
Anyone tried integrating ChatGPT with music apps for better ID? Wonder if that’s even possible.
I tried feeding it song lyrics with typos to see if it still recognizes them. Sometimes it can figure it out, sometimes not.
You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools if you want something more tuned for music recognition. Got some neat AI apps there!
I think it’s better at recognizing lyrics than song titles or artists on its own. Just my experience.
Sometimes it confuses similar song titles or mixes up artists when asked. So double check anything important!
I've tried asking it to name songs from lyrics snippets, and it got a few right but missed some too. So it’s kinda hit or miss depending on how popular the song is I guess.
For anyone curious, ChatGPT can be pretty helpful to remember song lyrics or discuss music trivia too, not just IDing.
Sometimes I ask it to suggest songs similar to a lyric I like, and it actually gives some decent recs.
It’d be cool if future versions could take audio input for song recognition though. That’d make it way more useful.
It can’t actually listen to music or audio files, so it’s only matching based on text info. That’s a big limitation if you wanna ID songs by humming or tune.
I’ve found that giving it some context like the artist or era helps a lot. Just dropping a lyric alone sometimes gets confused with similar songs.
It’s really impressive how much it knows about music though, even if it’s not perfect at IDs.
Sometimes it mixes up different songs with same phrases. So gotta be careful interpreting results.
I got better results when I gave it a few lines of lyrics instead of just one or two words.
Keep in mind it’s not made as a music ID tool, so don’t expect perfection. But it’s fun to test out for sure!
Tried it with some really old songs and it struggled big time, guess it’s more tuned for recent stuff.
