Heard this today. Such a great feel good song. I always want to repeat it a few times.

How strange and peculiar.

Yes, because it is loud and annoying to ME. Their barks are not going to scare away a single person. In addition, one of my dogs barks her head off if a leaf falls to the ground within a half mile radius, so it gets old very quickly.

You can’t cover that song without sounding like a cover band. Shouldn’t even be attempted.

Not so fast my friend.

I was hoping someone would post this.

What if I told you a LOT of people in the media have no idea what they are talking about, especially when it comes to BASIC math?

Not just media, but politics and everyday life. The lack of very basic math skills is staggering in all walks. And these people vote and *think* they are smart. Dunning-Kruger in action! I learned this during the pandemic when I saw how people could not understand basic percentages in relation to cases/mortality etc.

I knew "percent" when I was in ELEMENTARY school, possibly before the age of 8. Why? because it is the same place we get the word "cents" for pennies.

UCONN needs to revoke this man's degree.

Seems about half the time I order something it takes twice as long as they promised.

I had cataract surgery 2 years ago. I wore glasses since I was 10, no more! I know a lot of people are squeamish about eye surgery, but it was really no big deal. My Dr. said I had the cataracts of someone 25 years older than me, so he had to really work on one eye. That ached a little while he was doing it, but was truly not a bad experience and the end results are life-changing.

About a month previous, I had had Mohs surgery on my nose....that WAS AWFUL. Cataract surgery is a breeze.

Ironic. Great song, no doubt. But if you examine the lyrics it seems clear that Alanis doesn't really know what irony means.

This was brought up when the song was popular back 30 years ago.

Class rank means nothing except for in law school and med school.

Cant speak for Law School, but when my wife went through LSU Med, they had no class rankings. This was more than a few years ago.

According to AI haters a person who uses their mind to instruct AI of the words they want included in the song and exactly how they want the song to sound like cannot say they made the song.

That's not being a hater, that is understanding how generative AI does what generative AI does. I cannot ask a chef to make a particular dish, let them know I what general ingredients I'd like added then claim I MADE the dish. I merely gave the chef the prompts.

I stand by my thesis from page 2. You don't know what AI does or how it works, you don't know how music works and I question your assertion that you know "good music" from "bad music". Like most, you simply know what YOU like. That's subjective, not objective.

It is clear that you really didn't want a civil discussion of AI when you made this thread. You wanted people to pat you on the back and validate your opinion, as uninformed as that is.

Thank you for the post. I know you are going to get a lot of crap here cuz, well... it's TD. But nothing you've said here should be controversial.
