The thing is MELODY, and while you can set a code to crank out every known country hit chord-wise........... the thing that sells is personality.

The machine's wife hasn't left it/truck hasn't broken down/hasn't had farmland repossessed/dog died etc etc. These AIs don't stand a chance.

my hard disk left me for a 32bit ho st.

I'm listening to the grass growing right now, lovely.

“I actually think [incredibly dumb idea],” is a thing venture capitalist [stooge] said onstage today during a [vanity presentation] at [industry group]’s second annual [circle jerk].

VC/hedge fund types have so thoroughly broken their brains that they cannot imagine a future that contains empathy or art.

Fully agreed. Late stage capitalism has produced a cult of antisocial jerks and outright sociopaths.

What about fembots? Is AI sexist?

There’s no AI anywhere; just cleverly written scripts, algorithms, and statistical processors. But yes, if written by sexists, the products can be sexist by design. See the “racist” touchless faucets that won’t respond to people with dark skin...

[Jace-BeOS]

can we really expect people who can afford to wipe their arse on gold leaf and have someone else do it for them, to understand the real world?

No. There are constant examples/evidence that this is fact. Too many wealthy people in our houses of “representation”...
