I’ve also been a subscriber for the last 4 years or so and seeing all of this is making me wonder if I’m subscribed to the same Spotify they are. I’ve had none of these issues.

Same. I’ve seen multiple people say this here and I’ve yet to experience it. Makes me wonder if the particular podcasters they’re listening to have opted in to some sort of ad revenue thing from Spotify.

All this talk of state-sponsored/subsidized news/media gives me the wiggins, at least as someone who lives in the US. I’m sure people smarter than myself could come up with a bullet proof system to prevent abuse, but really, I would have little faith it would stand the test of time. I feel like any protections you put in place would be eroded eventually. All it takes is one “emergency” or “disaster”. Maybe I’m wrong. It just feels so 1984ish.

Any one of us who actually codes/scripts knows ChatGPT spits out hot garbage when asked to produce anything beyond maybe a single short one or two line code snippet or bash/powershell command. Like the article said the AI lacks context of what you’re trying to do. It will confidently spit out either completely wrong or made up code with commands that don’t even exist.

Also, this will go really fucking well. Don’t give them any ideas.
