Generative AI output = neither a “source” nor “data“ 🤔 I know it can be useful and certainly is important, but when it produces text that fits neither of these buckets yet is commonly perceived as both, trouble ensues

Would you say prompts could constitute data, in that they are inputs that can be tested … although my understanding is AI outputs can’t really be replicated individually; I guess outputs from given prompt “data” could be sort of agglomerated with a margin of error for the input-output relationship

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

"That is, in fact, not what happened to Ophelia."

A personal gripe I have is that the first song on the album (which seems like it's meant to be the lead single), "The Fate of Ophelia," does not seem to have any understanding of Hamlet. Swift admitted in a BBC radio interview with Greg James that she "didn't really need to reread [Hamlet]. I wanted to sprinkle some references in the bridge, so like the the bridge references kind of some paraphrasing of some lines from Hamlet, so I did like do a little brushup. But I just love the idea that like, You saved me from love driving me mad, right?
'Cause that's what happened to Ophelia. Spoiler alert."
