"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.

That's the one feature I'm still waiting for Tidal to add. Otherwise I'm very happy with it.
There's no question that Spotify still holds an edge in terms of features, but in the end I decided I was willing to put up with the loss of some conveniences to actually support artists, and take my support away from a company that keeps behaving so shittily.
