I can't even remember the last time I looked at a stadium show and thought "yeah, that's worth spending over a hundred quid"
Maybe for some people, but not me.

Blocked about a billion of these shite profiles on our band socials about a year ago.

After a short period of quiet, the algorithm decided what I really needed was some utter tripe again.

Almost like there's a new subscription service coming soon where you can get a better version for money? Naaah

I'd rather fail a project with my own work than fail with trash AI and get done in for plagiarism.

Staying motivated feels so pointless.

Oh you're in a band? You know it's short for Bandrew right?

I think we need a new term for enshittification, because somehow things which are already shit are becoming shitter? And I don't think the term does enough??

Cardi B is short for Cardigan Bardigan

Is using GenAI the only way to satirize it's usage?

🌸🌴 Mercury's Well🌴🌸 @mercuryswell.bsky.social · 28d

Their intent is clear to me, I find their execution of it to be lazy.

🌸🌴 Mercury's Well🌴🌸 @mercuryswell.bsky.social · 29d

"tongue in cheek ai video" is still a shitty video using AI.
