D'Addario used Suno for an ad Dan Lyke / comment 0

Imagine having so few musical friends that you couldn't hit one up to do the soundtrack to your low budget ad. Guitar company D’Addario admits that AI music was used in a promotional videoAfter initially denying it, the company now admits that its string demo video was made with Suno.

Via.

vibe bobsled Dan Lyke / comment 0

I like the term and concept of "vibe bobsled": Faulty Towers, vibe sickness, and the vibe bobsled

Edit: Christine Lemmer-Webber @cwebber@social.coop wonders if the recent Linux kernel "completely overwhelmed" feelings are a symptom of vibe bobsledding.

Whee Friend reports that Thrifty's 800 Dan Lyke / comment 0

Whee! Friend reports that Thrifty's 800 number AI phone agent told him it was changing his reservation, and didn't actually.

Second time kinda worked (it didn't do other stuff).

So extra load on us, double check what portions of that the AI agent told you it actually did...
