I enjoyed how they were in the bar in Vegas when at that time they should have been on track

We used to call it 'machine learning' and it was super useful for analysing large batches of images in scientific, medical, and historical research. But nobody used it to generate 'new' images based on real data because that was, and still is, extremely dumb.

I think there's something wrong with your vacuum cleaner

Sure go for it

Oh like Joe Saward during COVID lol

Yeah I don't want to rag on Barretto cause he's great, it's just this particular style they've gone for

Very, er, visible

Aw a family of haters!

People saying it sounds like AI. Yeah it does a bit – I hadn't picked up on that. Similarly I hate that faux playful tone AI assistants use despite not being real people. Uncanny and inauthentic and makes me distrustful.

I think that is definitely some of it, though I don't mind them being playful. The fact that it's not a real person gives it a real contrivance? And also projects an idea if how it thing -I- am supposed to feel? It's weird and uncanny

This is definitely a Me thing, not an objective assessment. It just grinds my gears as a structure style.
