The art of songwriting, something we thought only human beings could do,can now be done very impressively by artificial intelligence. A trio of ex students of the batch of SSC 2023 has demonstrated this for us .Mark Barboze,assisted by Kartik Singh and Benet Bejoy used the help of ChatGPT to compose a new school anthem .The result is this beautiful set of lyrics.
(Verse 1)
In the halls of St. Augustine’s, where memories reside,
A place where dreams took flight, and hearts opened wide.
Founded by Christian brothers, with love in their heart,
They came to Vasai, with learning to impart
(Chorus)
Oh, St. Augustine’s, my dear alma mater,
With gratitude I sing, for you I’ll never falter.
Nostalgia fills my soul, as I reminisce each day,
Service before self, your motto lights my way.
(Verse 2)
From the morning prayers to the last bell’s chime,
We walked hand in hand, through the corridors of time.
Lessons learned, friendships forged, like treasures untold,
Through joys and struggles, we blossomed, young and bold.
(Chorus)
Oh, St. Augustine’s, my dear alma mater,
With gratitude I sing, for you I’ll never falter.
Nostalgia fills my soul, as I reminisce each day,
Service before self, your motto lights my way.
(Bridge)
The teachers’ guiding words, like a beacon so bright,
They nurtured our spirits, ignited our inner light.
The Christian brothers’ wisdom, their compassion so grand,
Their legacy lives on, to every corner of the land.
(Verse 3)
As the years slip by, and distance pulls us apart,
The memories we cherish forever in our heart.
The classrooms, the playgrounds, the echoes of our cheer,
A place where we discovered dreams and conquered our fears.
(Chorus)
Oh, St. Augustine’s, my dear alma mater,
With gratitude I sing, for you I’ll never falter.
Nostalgia fills my soul, as I reminisce each day,
Service before self, your motto lights my way.
(Outro)
Though we’ve journeyed far from those hallowed walls,
The spirit of St. Augustine’s forever enthralls.
For you’ve taught us to serve, to give, to excel,
In gratitude we stand, for all that we’ve excelled.
(Chorus)
Oh, St. Augustine’s, my dear alma mater,
With gratitude I sing, for you I’ll never falter.
Nostalgia fills my soul, as I reminisce each day,
Service before self, your motto lights my way.
Kudos to Mark and company for showing us how use our intelligence to put Artificial Intelligence to good use.Maybe the three of them will win a Nobel Prize Grammy someday .In the mean time we have to figure out how advances in technology can best be used to enhance the teaching learning process among many other things.

(A recent Goldman Sachs study found that generative AI tools could, in fact, impact 300 million full-time jobs worldwide, which could lead to a “significant disruption” in the job market. )
