WATCH: Don’t Pay This AI Family To Write You a Song

I wanted to share this amusing but cautionary video this Sunday night. Without giving too much away, this video explores something we have discussed before – the danger AI poses, not to jobs or humanity – but to our perception of reality.

And, yes, this is the kind of thing that would usually go in This Week, but we did This Christmas before I found it, and it’s from August anyway, so…

If you want to hear what real, authentic, genuine AI music sounds like, there is nothing like being Trapped In Bollywood.

“This is certainly history’s stupidest generation, led by dead-eyed bugmen entirely devoid of principles, convictions and substance of thought. People of the brand, human beings formed by the simulated relations of production.

The AI slop is the quintessential symbol of our time. It’s really the summarizing expression, the final statement of our entire civilization, the essence of its fundamental ethic in Oswald Spengler’s sense. The “final world-sentiment”.” Johan Eddebo

He must stare in the eyes of evil and know that he is free

Great video. I love it when scammers get exposed.
I’m gonna be a bit controversial for a minute….
To those people who argue that AI songs are generic, lacking originality and are totally boring I say, where have you been for the past 30 years? The music industry has been circling the bowl ever since the 90s. Bands and songwriters are more like musicologists these days writing music by numbers and creating formulaic dross. I hope AI accelerates the end of the music industry as it exists today and leads to a desire for new music genres and artists who are unique and express genuine human feelings and emotions.

“What would “Hallelujah 2.0” sound like as a duet, in the styles of Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley? So, we asked ChatGPT for some assistance. Below is the result.”

“The line between real – and plastic – will continue to blur until it disappears all together. The need to separate real and plastic becomes at first inconvenient, to then more difficult, to then most difficult, to finally, no longer necessary. This is the beauty of social engineering – a gradual but steady progression that goes undetected – thereby ensuring it’s eventual completion and success.”

How a London, Ont., cricket plant found itself at the heart of an international conspiracy theory
Aug 29, 2022

Colin Butler

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/london-ontario-cricket-factory-1.6562083

“Since opening, the London plant has been dogged by bizarre conspiracy theories that it’s part of a shadowy government plot to force people to eat insects.

In 2022, Aspire signed a memorandum of understanding with a Korea-based food distribution company to identify markets in Asia and Europe for its product.”

Off topic – though perhaps not (“based on the true story…”) – see this from the Guardian:

Nothing says happy Hanukah like a Holocaust-themed movie, especially if it ends on a feelgood note of survival and …..

etc. etc.

Oh and it’s an Israeli-Belarusian co-production. No, don’t go!

That was insightful (nearly wrote inciteful) if humans are mere machines , then there’s no problem with AI. But we’re not. Not yet anyway. I’m not going to trust my own eyes without double checking everything from now on.

There are degrees of fear. Fear is not always fear. When God says “fear God and keep his Commandments” this fear is not an afraid fear.

This fear is the true respect fear. You fear God because you know he is 100 times more intelligent and rightful than you, and therefore you obey.
You are not a pure dumbhead, making fool of yourself. You know.

If Folks wanna throw their hard earned money away on corny personalised songs, Al or not, let em.
None of these songs are any worse than most of the tripe that passes for popular music these days.

Let’s face it, one only needs three chords to write a song. I’ve done it many, many times.

Story goes Dolly Parton has written over 6000 songs, and that’s not uncommon!

Al is just a sad and selfish snapshot of our times.

Now that is an amazing scam. They must be raking in huge amounts.

The customer actually gets the product, in this case the personalized song for US$100 within a few days of placing the order. They are happy and without any further research won’t even know that they have been scammed into buying an AI generated song by a bunch of scammers in the Philippines pretending to be a family band called ‘The Walkers’ from the good ol’ USA – who actually do not exist.

As the narrator of the video said ” It won’t be AI taking your job, it’s the person that understands AI who will be taking your job”

Time to sharpen up those bullshit detectors with AI in mind and remember if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

You’re always crying about something.

Most frequently though about your imagination of a free will when your own evidence (the Bible) clearly states that you are a bot.

Either a very rudimentary basic input output bot or, possibly, a gullible, guilty, self-centred, stupid, evil, a-hole.

One way or t’other, it’s a bizarre operating system since, either way, you are totally chained up.

Billions have the same one installed.

Poor Erik.

Its my free will and my free speech we are talking about Lu1. The 1’st Amendment!
Even you Lu1 cant take away the 1’st Amendment just with only a finger-knips.

Admitted I am working on this one about controlled opposition.
Yes God said from the first incident that Woman’s seed (Christ) should bruise the snake’s head.

This must mean that things afterwards, developments are controlled to fulfil this prediction.

But, you still have the test of Abraham. Sacrifice your son to your God, and Abraham made a wood fire to fulfil God’s demand, but was stopped by God.

And more of the same in the Bible. So somewhere we still have a free will choice whether we want to be in the one camp or the opposite camp, no?

I agree there is some exploitation of Israel, of us, of Jesus, to fulfill the original purpose, punishment, prediction, spell oof art. To make us act to fulfill this transformation.
But do we not have a free will to say “no I give a shit about God’s will, I will do my own?”. I think so.

If true, your Bible infers that you don’t have any – i.e. it is a deterministic creation.

If you do have a mind then you are just a.n.other 95%’er a-hole based on your Bible belief (while simultaneously, preposterously, writing that its revelation, i.e. predestination of the elect, is false).

You are either a bot or a psycho.

But do we not have a free will to say “no I give a shit about God’s will, I will do my own?”. I think so.

Only a bot or psycho would write that this infers “free will” rather than the scripted enactment of not having been selected as “elect” prior creation (as the not so Holy text reveals).

I am neither. I am a human being, born with sin in my genes, but with a will to chose either side. To do God’s will.
Mohammed Ali confirmed God’s will. “I became the world’s champion no.1 but it gave me nothing. God is the greatest”.

I finally managed to see the film but honestly, at the time of my first comment the page was blank. Interesting and funny subject but with little relevance for me who never shops or orders online. The music sounded terrible anyway.
