With Eurovision just around the corner, we asked ChatGPT to write a Eurovision themed song about south east London and the results are…interesting.

ChatGPT is a cutting-edge language model developed by OpenAI and we put in a request to to compose a catchy and fun Eurovision song specifically tailored for south east London.

That is, if south east London could compete as its own individual location.

The prompt we put in to receive the lyrics was “Write a catchy and fun Eurovision song for south east London” followed by “add more details about the locations in the song”.

It named it “South east London groove” and whilst it definitely reads more like an odd poem, it does add some interesting details about various locations and highlights of south east London.

What do you think? Do you think ChatGPT did a good job of putting together a Eurovision song together? And if not, what south east London icon would you like to see perform at Eurovision?

Here is ChatGPT’s attempt:
