I hope this fixes the absolute shitshow that is 4.7 and its awful “adaptive reasoning”. I tried that a few times then reverted to 4.6.

Who says the products don’t have fake CE labels stuck on? A CE label does not - as far as I can tell - have any security features.

Ok! Thanks for educating me.

Word of mouth is not marketing. The way you find the audience is by marketing. Paying to get in front of people. Targeting people who read similar books. Getting people who already have audiences to review your book or interview you. A book

Indeed! It appears the person you are responding to skipped over a bunch of stuff and so missed my response which was “you need to market your book, not just write it”.

by saaaaaam 5mo ago
Yes. And my response was “market your book”.

by saaaaaam 5mo ago
Why wouldn’t people read it? The problem is not writing - the problem is finding an audience. Yes, AI means there are more poor works competing. But if it’s actually good writing, you will find an audience if you market the book. Pay an edi

“One person even took the time to write out an 850-word breakdown of the AI work’s shortcomings.” But they didn’t. The “breakdown” they link to is clearly and glaringly AI-authored. “ Fair warning before I dig in: this image is actually a v

I tried to create a new gmail address recently because my primary gmail address is my name, and it's quite common, so I get more email for other people than I get for me. My phone number - which I've had for about 15 years and hav

My gut says that the occupations with the higher incidence of divorce are ones that have lower educational/qualification thresholds and in which people may be likely to marry when they are younger. It would be interesting to know if th

I don’t understand the “record high” point. How did you decide when a “record high” had been reached in a volatile market? Because at $1 the record high might be $2 until it reaches $3 a week or month later. How did you determine where to s

No - just because a title inspires curiosity doesn’t mean it is clickbait. Clickbait titles are urgent and generally either over-egg something or are misleading. This was just a good title. Thinking about this a little more: the reason I op

No, it’s a great title. It was curious enough that I clicked and then I read the whole thing. It’s unlikely I would have done that if it had been something like “Using computer vision to score rifle shooting cards”.

The engagement mechanisms and audiences for heritage artists vs new artists are very different. New artists are not in competition with heritage artists like the ones you mention: those artists are a constant passive consumption baseline ag

The biggest issue for new musicians is getting people’s attention. AI music that people are happy to over human music listen to is absolutely part of the problem.

Lots of people are listening to it. There’s an AI brand named “Eddie Dalton” on Spotify right now with 589k monthly listeners and a couple of million streams on its top track. This is one of many. Lots of people don’t care about whether the

Yes, lots.

I can assure you it’s not a corner case: this is one of the things that a lot of creators are concerned about. If a major streaming platform decides your music is not acceptable because you used some AI as part of your production process an

This is apparently how Deezer is doing it.

Effectively yes. There are plenty of music distributors that have “no fee” distribution where they simply take a percentage of any royalties. I suspect we are going to see that model quickly go out of favour though.

No, not really. Spotify is trialling a voluntary “AI Credits” thing where people can highlight use of AI when they release music. https://support.spotify.com/lc/artists/article/ai-credits/ The problem is
