Absolutely useless facts about you nobody cares about

The part of the forum where the silliest things happen. Conversations that sound like they belong here, will be moved here. Maybe.

"OpenAI says its GPT-4 generative AI model can be used for content moderation on websites and social media platforms, indicates a number of customers are already paying for the service ."

One can only imagine what would happen if it were used here.

I used to think about bands in the 70's and classify them as better or worse. Now I compare any band from the 70's to those of today, and I'm amazed that people could actually play instruments and sing without autotune.

I blame the Dutch. And Al Gore. Before he invented the internet, you learned about bands from the radio and musicians had to sound good to be on the radio. You'd enjoy Aerosmith without knowing how ugly Steven Tyler was/is. Or Carly Simon. Or Janis Joplin. After the internet, musicians have to look good. The music can be cleaned up by the techno-geeks in the lab, but the look has to be there first.
