I’m surprised P ended up that high, the amount of autotune in it sounds like AI speech synthesizer with articulation cranked all the way 11 where it just makes random weird sounds

59.1% AI-detection™ score

A small note: that I wasn’t trying to decide whether something was AI, I was trying to evaluate its creativity. So I actually thought A was real, but that it was extremely generic… I also suspected D was AI but trying to judge on creativity, I was unimpressed with the lyrics (not that creative) but I found the soundscape it created interesting. That’s a place where my (un)familiarity with the genre was a liability. I also found the pitch of “you” in “who are you” nrar the end to be creative, like in the wrong key but in a good way.

Also I only listened to each track once, then decided where to put it in the list. Like “top”, “bottom”, “near bottom but not worst”. And I placed them as I went. If I went through the list again I’d probably swap some but that would have taken way longer and I decided it was more important to be done. I probably should have done some spot checks at the end to make sure things ended up where I wanted.

With friends like these who needs enemies?

Great work. A few thoughts re: methodology.

• I despair for society’s musical inclinations.
• Not being able to understand the lyrics was a big impediment.
• Not being familiar with/fond of the genres was a big impediment.
• given those two limitations I think I may have inadvertently selected for intra-song diversity and that may favour AI generation since it’s a lot more work for musicians to change sounds in the middle of a song.

I’m very curious to see the results. Sorry I didn’t get to it sooner.

Fantastic, I’ll try to listen today

So I’m pretty ignorant of the top of the chart I’d be willing to be a guinea pig. Do you want to send me like 3 chart toppers and an AI song and I’ll see which one is most creative? Don’t tell me which is which.

3 synchronized receive stations to fix my location, and then what would they do?

Yeah sorry I meant like from different places in a city, not just not at home.

It’s for sure rude and not something I’d try/recommend but we’re talking about espionage here.

Am I wrong in thinking that if I wanted to propagate revolutionary thought and went to a different neighbourhood with an HT and transmitted to the local repeater, it would be hard for the state to find me if my transmission was less than 5 minutes?

I’m saying an intermittent signal from varying locations would not be easy to trace. ARDF is a nearly continuous signal from immobile stations and it is not trivial, it is competitive.

It’s not laughably easy.

Not with a handheld that you don’t use at home. But correct me if I’m wrong.

I think it’s unclear if it was developed wholly indepently or if it was done after some exposure to European writing.

IMO it’s likely to be undecipherable because of small sample size, and the probability that the sample we do have was from a period of rapid evolution.

Me friend recently told me she was caned (rapped with a ruler to be more specific) on the back of her hand for writing on the chalkboard with her left hand.

1989 Anglican Sunday school in rural Canada. They never went back, and apparently the place was shutdown not too much later.

The nail that sticks up, gets hammered down

I think they might. We should find someone from Dunedin.

They reference sleighs because they are (were) a practical and fun way of getting around in winter. Sleighs are associated with Santa but the songs aren’t about his sleigh.

Lots of Christmas songs are actually just winter songs.

Very cool thanks for sharing

Yeah we humanize them because it’s important to remember that essentially anyone that ends up in their position will behave similarly. They aren’t demons, they’re humans. We should stop putting people in their position.

What worked for me was taking my meds the same moment I put on deoderant. That way I can double check whether I took them by smelling my armpit before I leave the house.
