And when somebody figures out how to metricize "well written" then that will turn to fecal matter. Re: Goodhart's Law [1] (admittedly meant to be economic, yet applies to most metrics).
Also related to Enshittification (see fecal matter), the platform shifts, no longer prioritizes quality, and instead shifts to whatever "well written" is defined as.
LLM's and especially online song choice algorithms have a heavy dose of this. "Make whatever pop music says is 'well written'" You have included all the keywords necessary to SEO your billboard submission.

- araes 3y agoI think I'm totally missing the reference (apparently the Robert in the video?). I thought it was Bob's your uncle (instructions complete), or Uncle Bob the photographer (who doesn't know how to use his own equipment). Pretty sure its not a T-800 Terminator or smoking pot like Bob Marley reference. Also, totally feel like an LLM doing the %chance this word game.
