Only if you take it literally and I don’t think it was intended to be taken that way.

I guess this also illustrates a problem. Maybe it should at least say the song has been interpreted in more than one way before doing its count.

Only if you assume that everything on the list was additive to the initial gifts every time. I think you can infer from the context of the song, the holiday, how gift-giving works, etc. that they were just appending to the list of gifts each day.

But those are the sort of things that LLMs are incapable of doing.

That’s another issue, but I agree. I was just addressing the idea that this is what people need to help them be better writers.

All this will do is to teach them how to better write specific sentences. If they even read the suggestion before using it.

I’ve done a lot of professional VO, and if he was anything like me, yes.

Because every time he listens to it, he will analyze every little inflection and think, “I could have done that better.” or “they should have used the other take.”

Somehow, this was not an issue for me in the 1990s.

Damn, and I thought the original gift-giver in the song was already being totally unreasonable.

Can you imagine all the droppings their true love would have to clean up from all those birds?

Well that’s weird, because I didn’t need AI to improve my writing.

All it took was one very good and very short book:

I don’t agree with everything in it, but I agree with most of it.

Or they could just not be made at all.

Does it matter which is worse when we can take care of both problems?

No one ever talks about stopping cigarettes from being filtered. It’s not as if the filter actually makes cigarettes safe. They just make them easier on your lungs as you smoke and you’re less likely to get bits of tobacco in your mouth. Maybe that shouldn’t be a thing?

About fucking time.

Got mine yesterday when we were out. Told my kid that it would be a non-corporate alternative to TikTok. She couldn’t have been less interested. Sigh.

You don’t need to pay a subscription fee to watch YouTube. What are you even talking about?

My wife’s hybrid Rav4 has it and loves it. I wish my Prius had it. I’m glad Toyota apparently knows how to do it right.

If there’s a big enough market for hairy cleavage, it might be worth it!

I have manboobs from when I was fat. I almost want to take a self-portrait and see what Instagram thinks.

This is the epitome of a first-world problem.

Dude…
