Other people are in that space as well.

But the origin story with this is Nolan Gasser, who was the co-creator for the Pandora Radio Music Genome Project, was a keynote speaker at an AI conference that we hosted at North Carolina A&T.

At the end of that, he played a song that he had developed for A&T.

He's a composer.

He's a musician.

So it was really good.

And I said, I turned to a colleague and I said, I'm going to do this in my class.

It was toward the end of the class after we had developed this comprehensive model.

And the idea was to help them crystallize what they had learned, apply it, but also as a way, as a lead into a final project in the course, which they do a macro briefing report.

Okay, let me just say they're probably listening to this, sir.

Exactly.

So the original thing I wanted to do was to use it as an exercise to see and maybe actually have them vote on each other's songs to see which one might be the best, whatever that might mean, but best in terms of the economics and incorporating the models in it.

And then to connect that and see whether there's any correlation between that and the prompts they use.

to get the lyrics.

I didn't actually do that, but I have some semblance that mattered in terms of their final project.

I think it was better this semester.

One part of that final project is how their use of AI, they have to reflect on that and report on that.

And I think they did a better job of that this semester.

Yeah, that's right.

We are as well as businesses in the corporate world.
