This is one of the weirder bits of fundamentalist rhetoric. There's an school of thought in several churches including some old Catholic ones that women are supposed to suffer because of Eve. I am not telling you it makes sense. I am telling you he's parroting a line that is a giant warning sign

JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

It's entirely fitting that one of the first big AI-generated music producers is a Deloitte consultant.
for my @newyorker.com column I profiled Nick Arter, a consultant turned musician who began producing AI songs under the name Nick Hustles a year ago and has hit millions of streams and gone pro. Where is the line of human creativity in the post-AI music industry? www.newyorker.com/culture/infi...

Aspiring musicians are churning out tracks using generative artificial intelligence. Some are topping the charts.
