i got the pun- i thought it was hilarious tbh. maybe there’s room for 2 Tyra Banks themed songs this season?

 

 not the first GH mini-drama of the season - although making it to page 19 isn’t bad. even though we’re all friends again this would be GREAT inspiration for the R3 challenge(s). stay tuned to see why 

Here I thought the days of writing tournament drama were behind us... lovely to see such a swift and wholesome resolution following a simple misunderstanding though @stupidjock@Antikythera.

Golden Hit heading toward her renaissance era... we love to see it. The consistency in submissions, the ratings, the drama... these are the glory days!

I’m still so embarrassed  This game is too pure for dramas like in other games 

[Kayseri Mantisi]

Wait so tomorrow we'll have a new round but the reviews of the second round isn't out yet? I'm confused will they come later

[fountain]

Rounds and judging overlap so the game can be kept on a weekly schedule, otherwise things will run over and the game will take longer and won’t fit a set timescale. This way the writers get enough time to write a song they are happy with, but judges also get enough time to read the songs properly and provide their feedback rather than having to rush. The new rounds are posted every Saturday, and reviews and results for the prior round can be expected over the weekend too.

it wasn't always this way  but the community is generally all here for the songwriting first and foremost these days

as @fountain mentioned, we post new rounds a bit early to give you guys extra time to write. so R3 will likely be posted before R2 reviews and definitely before results

⚜ Official Statement ⚜

 

Ahead of Round 2’s reviews being shared and Round 3 beginning, it is with sincere disappointment that we must make this unfortunate announcement.

 

The judges of Golden Hit have recently become aware of a concerning issue within the competition – the submission of song lyrics generated by artificial intelligence. While AI technology has undoubtedly enhanced the creative process, allowing the creation of striking cover art and other supporting materials, using AI-generated lyrics in a songwriting competition raises ethical concerns and creates an uneven playing field. It undermines the essence of human creativity and the spirit of authentic artistic expression that the tournament aims to celebrate.

 

To be clear, we view the use of AI-generated lyrics as equivalent to plagiarizing material, and as always, we allow only self-written lyrics to be submitted in this tournament. To maintain the integrity of the competition and ensure a level playing field for all participants, we may decide to implement AI content detectors to screen song lyric submissions if deemed necessary. This measure will help identify AI-generated content and preserve the authenticity of the competition, fostering an environment where songwriters can compete on a fair basis and showcase their genuine artistic talents.

 

We do not wish to call anyone out specifically, and will not tolerate speculation in the thread. If this message does not apply to you, please continue to write original songs and submit as usual. However, if this message does apply to you, consider this a third and final chance to show us what you are truly capable of. Thank you.

AI needs to be stopped for once and for all.

Oh good that doesn't apply to me!

 

The way I low-key thought about it when I was feeling super stumped this last round though like...

THREE times? 

There have been two rounds; this forthcoming challenge will be a third and final chance for the writer(s) in question to prove their worth. If any AI generated song lyrics are submitted from this coming round onward, disqualifications will be implemented. This is especially disappointing because Golden Hit prides itself on letting anyone participate in any challenge at any point in the season's journey until its finale. We've never had to implement a disqualification before, and would like to avoid doing so if at all possible. We are providing an opportunity to change.
