Likely many other, I’ve been grossed out by some of the shit getting churned out with generative ai. But it’s also made me notice some of the existing things that give me the same feeling.
Poorly translated stuff, as often seen on cheap Chinese imports, has the same uncanny valley awkwardness. It sounds like English, but it isn’t what an actual human who spoke English would say. And if we want to talk about an algorithm that’s gone rogue and is destroying the world while trying to fulfill some arbitary metrics, there’s always late-stage capitalism…
Anyone else notice things like this?


Most songs with lyrics. One that comes to mind is a tune with the line “say what you came to say” that repeats dozens of times in 3 minutes. Dude should take his own advice and actually say something.
Yeah, lyrics are getting more repetitive and angry over time.
Thanks for the link.
