I reject OP on the basis of "that's not how mathematical proof works."

Well I'll be hornswaggled! 🤣

Quote from: Nobody on December 11, 2025, 10:48:09 AMHow does an AI cover a song? Does it have to listen to the song and then make its own version, or what? After all, that's how humans do it.
Or does the AI have some other way to do it?

The only thing you can feed it is audio files, so I can't really see any other way it could produce the cover besides listening.

Gerasimov better steer clear of windows for the next...forever.



Ukraine has been kicking ass and taking names lately.  Very difficult, harrowing road to get here, but things are finally turning around.

New TADC episode is out! And hoo boy, what a ride. Also, there's a cameo from someone with a very recognizable voice.

Yeah, in my high school it mostly all about the Minute men, the squirrel-gun sharpshooters and Paul Revere riding his ass off. Hardly even mentioned the French navy blockade and victory and all the other global action Britian had to deal with. I do wonder how many Americans even know that France was instrumental to our independence. I hear a lot of Americans shaming the French about WW2, sometimes painting a picture of cowardice.

Yeah, English is like that. American-English is worse.

I've lived too long.  I know previous generations' slang, my generation's slang, and the current slang.  Example: "you're being too hysterical!" to "take a chill pill" to "calm your tits" to "bruh, slow your goofy ass down fr"  Or "posing for the camera" to "aura farming".  I know how to express excitement as "by Jove!" to "awesome!" to "let's go!" and it hurts my brain.  English is the turducken of languages.

It's not all bad, I've lived to see "hey" as a greeting be normalized.  My grandparents' generation had a bizarre aversion to shortening greetings, apparently unaware that "goodbye" is itself a heavily shortened expression.  Also, I'm glad cursive is dying out.  It was a pain to write and a pain to read and most communication is digital anyways, so it's good to standardize and simplify when possible.  I'm also glad that "whom" is more or less dead.  I find that word tedious and annoying and I will die on the hill fighting whoever.  :P

Still, I'm not keen on the tenuous grasp most people nowadays have on apostrophe/possession/plural rules, the redundant and clunky "have got" as a common expression, and their/they're/there confusion.  In a browser game I used to play, the tutorial included a basic literacy quiz before you can access the chat function.  Imho, social media should include a similar literacy quiz.
