digital painting of an anthropomorphic character, standing on a sidewalk in front of a two-story, light blue suburban house. the scene is at night, though much of the character and environment are heavily overexposed, as though illuminated by a bright light off-screen. the character is wearing a sweater and jeans, looking off in the direction of the light. their face is completely obscured apart from shadows. several trees surround the house, casting harsh shadows across it. two ac units are visible in the upstair's and downstair's windows of the house, with a wooden porch in behind.

The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.

Screenshot of David Simon interview
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

if you know specific lines from a song, share them! someone on here may know it.

beyond that, use quotes ("like this") in search engines when looking. genius and the old standbys azlyrics and plyrics may have it up. if you use reddit, r/namethatsong may be able to help you out as well.

while there has been great diversification since their heyday in the 1980s, the jock's primary functions are to be captain of the football team, kiss the prom queen, and put nerds into trash cans.

In all seriousness, the "LLMs are people and you're racist if you don't like them" shit is the natural endpoint of a consumerist society in which consuming and fandom are the only modes of identity-building many people understand. Finally, a product no one can tell you not to love.
