I noticed many brands and restaurants have started skimping on filling. I always joke that I would bankrupt any restaurant I own because I do not go light on the flavorful ingredients.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world…

Private Parts chose a bad moment to stand at attention.

From Deezer’s website, the detection system tags songs that are either fully AI generated rather than produced or mastered with the help of AI tools. You can also appeal if you believe your music was falsely flagged.

I strongly oppose the use of generative AI in art but if it has to be done, it should at least be labeled as AI (ideally by the “creator” themselves).

I wonder how accurate the AI detection tools are though, considering how common are posts where AI detection tools used in schools falsely flagged student assignments.

There was a song I quite liked which had several million views on YouTube which I was surprised to see was flagged as AI generated. No one I showed it to it could hear any obvious signs of AI. The main red flags were that the artists released several albums in a short time span and had no online presence on any platform you would expect to see musicians on (Bandcamp, Discogs, etc) besides YouTube and the streaming ones.

Stick blender! I delayed buying one because I thought the regular blender I had was enough, but this one is so convenient for sauces and soups.

e-reader: another item I delayed buying for too long because I believed paper books were better. I bought a Kobo and ended up reading more often.

Another unrealistic body standard for Hymenoptera.

(The thin-waisted wasps are mud daubers for anyone wondering. And chunky bees are adorable.)
