Logan D. Hurricanes reacted to Lord Liaden in A.I is here and it will make the world worse.
I've spent what may be an inappropriate amount of time watching young "reactors" on YouTube responding to recordings of music and performances from the 1950s through the 1980s. In nearly every case they act like they've been given a revelation. Not just of the authenticity and sheer talent behind the singing and orchestration, but of its beauty and genuine emotion, the heart and soul within it, that's lacking in the music from their generation. People will eat garbage if that's all they're given and all they know, but nowadays with so much access, it's getting hard to avoid exposure to the artistic equivalent of gourmet food.
I see this in film and television as well. More and more often today the general public are denouncing mediocrity. More importantly, they're refusing to pay for it. OTOH when a work of genuine quality that means something appears, they flock to it. It's why I believe soulless AI art may find a niche, but it will never wholly supplant human creations.

Today is the first day back for teachers for the 2023-24 school year in my district.
I can't remember ever being so not excited to go back.

Got a text from my girlfriend saying she was breaking up with me.
I was so relieved when a few minutes later when she texted me again "sorry wrong number"
Wait a minute...

Giving a movie villain a PhD works well regardless of your audience.
People without a PhD: "Oh, they are showing that the villain is really smart. Makes sense."
People with a PhD: "Ah, grad school and academia drove him to madness. Makes sense."

Logan D. Hurricanes reacted to Pariah in NFL 2023
Okay, okay, I just had a sudden rush of inspiration to the head!
If we're gonna rename the Washington football club, we need to get as far from the old identity as possible, especially where the overtly offensive elements are concerned. So let's drop Washington from the name.
Instead, let's call them the Beltway Bandits! Their team colors can be Dollar Bill Green and Prison Jumpsuit Orange.
Who's with me?
