I don't wanna defend pop music too much but "catchy" is one of those aspects of music that's easy to immediately recognize but extremely hard to pull off. In order to be catchy a melody needs to be both wholly familiar feeling but also juuuuuust different enough to surprise our ears.

I'm not saying a generative AI couldn't ever pull it off if you drained enough lakes to do it, but while it's very good at producing the "familiar" it's very very bad at producing anything "surprising".

Odd that it's on top of a sales chart when AI music can't be copyrighted, so anyone could just get it for free. It makes me suspect it's presence there might be inauthentic.

I see "Elon Musk" invitating me to secret whatsapp groups where he is going to give me bitcoin

I thought this was an anti-AI post because the second one looks like it's a lot more complicated to use.

I had the same reaction. Either I have undiagnosed ADHD and just... somehow don't freeze up, or the analogy isn't great.

I get what you're saying is a joke, but most people don't know about Newpipe or whatever the current alternative app is, and soon most people won't be able to sideload anyway when Google makes it's changes to Android.

It's not good that Google/Meta are exposing these people to scammed for the crime of simply for not knowing how to sideload.

If you open YouTube shorts in a new account or an account that doesn't store history the ads are nearly exclusively AI slop scams. This is not just a Meta issue.

Kapowarr is for comic books, OP is looking for comic strips.

That said it should be great for finding collected editions.

There’s a need to skim through all the crap to find what’s valuable

But that's literally already the job of a search engine?

Looks great, can old Google location data be imported?
