"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .

Weird Al does a lot more than just parody. He has a lot of original music as well. My wife and I saw him do an “unplugged” concert a couple years ago that was only original music and not a single parody.
The Ridiculously Self Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour? I wanted to see that show but couldn't make it happen.
Yeah, that sounds right. I’d honestly forgotten how many original songs he’s written. I just realized there’s a comprehensive list here.
He did both his ones based on other's songs and original songs, but didn't do all the costumes and big production stuff on that tour. They did play at least one of those original songs in a completely different musical style among other variations from the original styles. It was just the musicians on stage in a smaller venue doing fun stuff and it was a blast.
Funny enough, despite being a fan of him as a kid in the 80s that was the first time I saw him on tour because I just didn't really go to many concerts. Saw him on the next(?) tour where it was the large venue and it was also a blast but with tons of costume changes, sets, and all kinds of over the top showmanship. Both were fantastic!
That sounds cool!
His pastiches are even better than his parodies, he can really let loose. Albuquerque is one of the greatest songs ever written.
