Claude Opus 5.5 能作曲吗？Simon Willison 的 Scrimshaw Jukebox 实验

Scrimshaw Jukebox

AI 导读

Simon Willison 测试了 Claude Opus 5.5 的作曲能力：让它设计一种简单的文本音乐格式，并构建一个可播放的 artifact，附带示例曲目，目标是达到《猴岛小英雄》原版配乐的水准。结果比预期更贴近《猴岛小英雄》主题，但质量出乎意料地好。他猜测这种作曲能力可能与近期文本模型涌现的 3D 图形能力类似，但需要更多实验来确认这是新能力还是一直存在。

正文

I wanted to see if Claude Opus 5.5 could compose music, so I tried this:

I want you to write some computer game music for me. First design simple text based format for the music and build an artifact that can play it out loud - include some example tracks in that artifact

I am looking for music of the quality of the original secret of Monkey Island

It leaned a lot harder into the Monkey Island theme than I had intended, but the results are surprisingly good.

I wonder if the ability to compose competent music is similar to the 3D graphics thing - a new capability for text models that emerged in the past few months?

Would need some careful experiments with other recent and not-so-recent models to confirm if this is new or if they've been able to do this for a while.
