"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Ratio. They don’t sound like very successful artists lmao
I wonder why they wouldn’t be on Spotify if it’s so good for artists? 🤔
Please explain what you mean by “canned statement” exactly? Is a factual statement not relevant if it comes from someone you don’t like?
By "canned" I mean "made palatable for the masses and packaged compactly".
Those statements aren't evidence any more than your claims are. For evidence, we would need some measurements of reality.
Spotify wouldn't be the first company to claim "piracy" as their motivation even tho their actions leave the rate of piracy virtually unchanged, so I do doubt their motivational claims. But, it's also not what I asked for. I want to see if there was an actual observable effect on piracy that has anything to do with Spotify.
