AI gets snotty arguing with a real human.

Question: Check me for errors in my correction of your first response, on the rule
For Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Ti-Do is,
the flat tone generally has an appended "a",
the natural tone has no appendage, the sharp tone generally has an appended "i"

(Cb → Da)
C → Do
C# → Di
Db → Ra
D → Re
D# → Ri
Eb → Me
E → Mi
E# → Ma
Fb → Me
F → Fa
F# → Fi
Gb → Se
G → Sol
G# → Si
Ab → Le
A → La
A# → Li
Bb → Te
B → Ti
B# → Ta
Cb → Da

Reply: Your correction contains errors.

The main problem is that your stated rule is too broad. In common chromatic movable-Do solfège, it is true that sharps generally take i and flats generally take a, but there are important standard exceptions. The established English chromatic syllables are not formed by a perfectly mechanical rule.

Correct standard forms:

Cb → Ti
C  → Do
C# → Di
Db → Ra
D  → Re
D# → Ri
Eb → Me
E  → Mi
E# → Fa
Fb → Me
F  → Fa
F# → Fi
Gb → Se
G  → Sol
G# → Si
Ab → Le
A  → La
A# → Li
Bb → Te
B  → Ti
B# → Do

Your specific errors were these:

Why those three are exceptions:

So your list is correct except for Cb, E#, and B#.

I've run out of patience arguing with the latest whiz-bang version of what my mother used to call in the t.v. age, "the idiot box".

And I was tone deaf before my hearing took a dump.

This is so much gibberish now.

Now do it with a quarter tone scale where you have a note between C and C#.

I think AI’s solution won’t work with a moveable DO.

The human version will, though.
