is superficially accurate, yet misses the clear fact that the narrator is a stalker/controlling sociopath. So it will be if/when AIs that lack the ability to intuitively nuance are thrown at news feeds and other data sources to aggregate and interpret them, and people come to rely on those interpretations
Edit: rather a doom-laden assesment, sorry, I do still think this is amazing work

- notahacker 4y agotbf, humans are also pretty bad at this, which is why songs like R.E.M's "The One I Love" get so much airplay at weddings This is also pretty bad, but perhaps not quite as far from the original meaning https://www.songtell.com/r-e-m/the-one-i-love https://www.songtell.com/r-e-m/the-one-i-love (the key line in the song is "a simple prop, to occupy my time"...) It's also better than a lot of Americans at figuring out that Born In the USA and Fortunate Son aren't patriotic anthems or particularly suited to political rallies, although I guess it has a lot of source material on those songs to parse https://www.songtell.com/bruce-springsteen/born-in-the-u-s-a https://www.songtell.com/bruce-springsteen/born-in-the-u-s-a https://www.songtell.com/creedence-clearwater-revival/fortunate-son https://www.songtell.com/creedence-clearwater-revival/fortun...
