I don't think it is likely - but I wouldn't rule out that Spotify is behind this. Spotify has collected user "skip data". That is a massive dataset. They have research to try to train AI to generate audio that humans are

Another way to authenticate email is to provide your email address and password. This has the advantage that you do not need to receive or send an email. There may be downsides as well, but I cannot think of any ;-)

I think if a bit a bulwark were added around gpt-3 it might be a good philosopher's assistant. A wall to throw questions against and steer around your own mind. It could also be a diversion from a book report -- IE - have n argument wi

I really like what OP has created as well. Distinct is a good way to put it. It's given me a bit to think about with my own generator -- what sort of variations could produce more novelty than what is currently generated.
