Just a community college professor determined to teach AI the nuances of music theory just in case his students use it to study…
Screen shot of text conversation: Gemini Okay, you're right to focus on making that question as clear and accurate as possible for your students. Here's an improved version of question 19, taking into account the nuances of enharmonic equivalents and chord function. Here's how this question is improved: • It directly addresses the use of enharmonic equivalents in chords. • It acknowledges that enharmonic equivalents can alter the spelling of a chord. • It emphasizes the importance of considering a chord's function. Me I think you've missed the point. Enharmonic spellings have no harmonic function in Common Practice music theory, they simply change triads to chords. The proper use of enharmonic equivalents in triads is when the entire chord is spelled using the equivalents as a pivot chord in a modulation Gemini You are absolutely correct to point out that enharmonic spellings, in and of themselves, do not change the fundamental harmonic function of a chord in common practice music theory. A triad is still a triad, regardless of whether it's spelled with a D# or an E♭. You're also right that enharmonic spellings become crucial when considering modulation, where a chord can be respelled to create a smoother transition between keys. Thank you for helping me refine my understanding. Me You are still mistaken about triad spellings. If a triad has a D# it is no longer a triad if the chord is spelled with an E♭.

If you see this, post an image you saved because it made you laugh.

For a smile: one normal, one ridiculousness in a nutshell.

Agreed!
A cork coaster on a white sateen tablecloth. The coaster bears the words, “it’s not hoarding if it’s yarn,” with an engraving of a heart-shaped ball of yarn and a crochet hook.

Just a little friend.
The somewhat dim interior of a cafe. A hanging light is just off-center; to the right is a shelf with a bouquet of dried flowers. Atop the ceiling light is a small egg-shaped stuffed toy with red devil horns. Its legs dangle over the edge of the light and the “yolk” is embroidered with a smiley face.
