Turkiye - Seven Advice

Students from Uşak Borsa Istanbul Middle School wanted to create a song using artificial intelligence this year. First, we organized a competition among the students. Some students participated with lyrics they wrote themselves, while others used the words of famous poets. Some, however, left the job entirely to artificial intelligence. The winner turned out to be a song composed of the seven advice of the world-renowned 13th-century Turkish poet Mevlana(Rumi). 

The music was entirely generated by artificial intelligence (AI).

From creating the song with (AI) to recording it in the studio, filming a video at historical and touristic sites in Uşak with 30 students, and then having the school choir perform the song at the Children's Day Concert on April 23rd—what an incredible journey! I bet the experience was unforgettable for everyone involved, and it's a great way to showcase the creativity and talent of the students from Uşak Borsa Istanbul Middle School.

[Verse 1] In generosity and helping others be like a river In compassion and grace be like the sun [Chorus] Either look as you are or be as you look Either look as you are or be as you look [Verse 2] In concealing others’ faults be like the night In anger and fury be like a dead [Chorus] Either look as you are or be as you look Either look as you are or be as you look [Verse 3] In humility and modesty be like the earth In tolerance be like the sea [Chorus] Either look as you are or be as you look Either look as you are or be as you look
