A lot of the criticism here smells like "what will my 12-year-old niece think about this" and, like, whether or not the album cover is harmful/misogynistic, it is not Sabrina Carpenter's responsibility to make art that's anodyne enough to be palatable and unharmful to 12-year-olds.

i used to teach my CS students that computers are "smart in a dumb way" -- i.e. powerful, but extremely literal. if you tell it to do something, even if it's questionable or wrong, it'll do it.
LLMs reverse this paradigm; i'd call them "dumb in a smart way," making assumptions to get an answer.
