⏳ 1 sentence that fixes bad AI results

This week, I'm sharing a hard truth about vanity metrics in the music industry and why 500K plays doesn't always equal success. Plus, I've got a game-changing AI prompt technique that will transform your ChatGPT results, Mureka's new V7 music generator, and the latest AI music news!

From 500K Plays to Sleeping on Mom's Couch: What Streaming Numbers Don't Tell You

Back in my MySpace days, I hit 500,000 song plays on my profile. It felt incredible. I organized a DIY US tour based on where my fans were located.

But here's what those numbers didn't show.

You get consumed by metrics. You optimize everything for streams and followers. You forget to build connections that drive revenue.

100,000 TikTok followers mean nothing if they don't translate to income.

Just like in business, vanity metrics look impressive on paper but don't pay the bills.

I learned this lesson when MySpace crashed. My entire following vanished overnight.

Are you chasing numbers or building a sustainable music career?

Now, let’s cut to the chase:

Getting Better Results From AI Through Clarifying Questions

Many struggle with creating clear instructions and prompts that give them results they're happy with.

I recently read an email by content creator Sabrina Ramonov, founder of Blotato. An AI tool that helps you write Social Media content for all Social Media platforms, without burning out.

She talked about a few techniques you can use to improve your AI outputs.

This is the essence of effective prompt engineering.

When using ChatGPT or other AI tools, the quality of your output depends entirely on how well the AI understands what you want.

Most frustration comes from incomplete context.

The AI doesn't know your background, target audience, or specific goals.

But there's a simple fix that changes everything.

Here's how it works:

1. Start with your basic request or question

2. Add this magic sentence: "Ask me clarifying questions until you're 95% confident you can complete the task successfully."

3. Answer the AI's follow-up questions honestly

4. Provide additional context when requested

5. Watch as your results dramatically improve

This approach transforms your AI interactions from one-sided commands to collaborative conversations.

Try adding this sentence to your next AI prompt and see the difference it makes.

This takes just seconds to implement but saves you hours of back-and-forth revisions.

Here's the prompt to copy and paste:

Ask me clarifying questions until you're 95% confident you can complete the task successfully.

Mureka's AI song generator dropped V7. And it's their most powerful update ever:

Mureka V7 now thinks like human composers.

It plans the full song structure first.

Section layout, emotional flow, instrumentation.

Then fills in the details.

Traditional AI models focus on local sounds.

Good audio, but no big-picture flow.

V7 solves this with MusiCoT framework.

The result? Songs that feel intentional.

1 - V7 makes much better songs than V6 they say.

→ 44% better vocal realism.

→ Nearly 100% improvement in audio quality.

People hear these tracks and say:

↳ "This can't be AI-generated."

2 - Reference-based generation got an upgrade too:

→ Upload any track as a style guide.

→ V7 matches mood, tempo, arrangement.

→ Perfect for remixing or cinematic background music.

3 - Built-in Text-To-Speech is now included:

→ Use preset voices or design custom ones.

→ Upload and clone your own voice.

→ Works for songs, narration, AI podcasts.

According to sources:

↳ TTS quality beats ElevenLabs at 4.6 vs 4.36

But here's the catch:

• The free version doesn't give you rights to the music.

• If you're a serious creator, you'll need the paid plan to use it commercially.

And if you upload reference tracks, Mureka uses them for training.

So read the terms before you go all in.

Still, this is next-level. Check out a step by step guide here.

Missed last week’s news? I got you. Here are the top 5 AI music news:

WRAP UP

We’re at the end!

"Do. Or do not. There is no try."

Master Yoda has many wise sayings, but one of the most quoted would be this one.

While training on Degobah in Empire Strikes Back, Luke feels defeated by the daunting task of lifting his X-wing fighter out of a swamp using only the Force.

Sounding unconvinced, Luke says he'll "give it a try," to which Yoda chastises him for his lack of confidence.

It's an inspirational lesson, as Yoda urges his student to commit fully to taking action, rather than make excuses for a half-hearted attempt.

Stop trying to build your music career. Start doing it.

Every stream, every fan connection, every song matters when you commit fully.

Always rooting for you,
