ChatGPT knows P5.js pretty well so you can ask "Write a P5 program that plots a sine wave and let's me control phase with a slider." and it does it.

I used P5.js with ChatGPT to make a design tool that balances 5 masses on a circumference for creating a rotary magnetic bow with reduced harmonic locking.

I am fascinated with this. What is it used for?

I use it to play music.

Did you transform a coat stand into an awesome futuristic instrument??? So glad I asked. Brilliant work. This should be in the HN front page!

Yup. That's exactly what I did.

I made an album for falling asleep to that you can find on various streaming music services. Just search "Autonomous Drone Lullabies" by Stefan Powell. It's an album that was made autonomously using an algorithm in Pure Data. It's also here: https://stefanpowell.bandcamp.com/album/autonomous-drone-lul...

Purchased! Excellent find on HN today.

Right?! I'm about to purchase a copy too.

This is seriously so cool. Thank you.

Reminds me of Electronicos Fantasticos (Japan) who re-purposes old items (TV's old fans, barcode scanners etc...) and makes electronic music. Super interesting stuff!

Imagine a procedurally generated game via using an LLM to continually program new content for the game.

That seems pretty soulless and uninteresting.

That sounds like a challenge worth taking up. (How to operationalize the soulfulness, though?)

That sounds like engineers missing the point of art
