Man Vs Machine vs…Horse?

Centaur an AI art image by Doug X

I have been creating songs with an AI engine on Suno.com. Usually I write the lyrics and let the engine create the music and vocals. But the engine also has a function where it will generate the lyrics if you give it a topic.

Being a scientist at heart I wanted to experiment. Man vs Machine, but this time not for hammering like John Henry or playing Chess like Kasparov, writing a song about Centaurs.

I had an idea for (which I published as a poem on Medium) ‘Is a Centaur Hung Like A Horse’ and I asked the AI to match it with vocals and music. Then I prompted the AI to write a humorous song on the same topic.

Below are our efforts.

First mine

Then the computer’s.

Which is better dear reader? Let me know in the comments.
