I've never given any of these connected apps a crack on ChatGPT, but I decided to give it a crack with Apple Music, so I asked for a classical music playlist of Baroque-era music, but with one important condition: Don’t just give me the “Top 40” version of Baroque music. That is to say: no lazy “Introducing Baroque” playlist stuffed with the same obvious warhorses. No automatic Canon in D. No inevitable Four Seasons. No “here’s Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, and good luck.” I wanted something that still felt accessible, but a little stranger. A playlist that sounded like opening a heavy wooden door into a candlelit room and realizing the Baroque era was not polite museum wallpaper. It was dramatic, experimental, sacred, theatrical, mathematical, weird, ornate, and occasionally unhinged. This is what came back. The Prompt Can you please generate me a “classical music” playlist of Baroque era music without necessarily giving me the “Top 40” that would be on most “Introducing Baroque” playlists?…
