AI is excellent at churning out the sort of music that is simply a bunch of cliches in different permutations. The recent success of an AI song wasn't because AI is musical but because that entire genre is derivative, repetitive and utterly lacking in imagination.

Well, the whole point was the lack of foreign tourists, and now you've kind of blown it for those poor natives. The only good thing is that the next listicle will send the tourist somewhere else…

Ah, the cozy evenings of my childhood. We had nothing this posh but the music – we had the music.

Bhí sé ar intinn liom fosta. Ach bhí stair foghlaim na Gaeilge comh dona san ag mo bhean gur éiríodh sí neirbhíseach agus crosta nuair a thosaíodh mé ag caint leo i ngaelic
Rinne mé iarracht an bhricfeasta Ghaelach a chur ar siúil tráth ach ní raibh sé ar a cumas fanacht socair.

Hi from a Human | The Mark of Human Intelligence

Human Intelligence fights back!
Una Healy, a brilliant Irish designer, has designed a logo to mark anything produced by human intelligence. The project is called 'hi from a human' and I think the logo is a creation of pure genius!

My today's age verification: dropped my knife on the floor and had to bend down to pick it up. Used the opportunity to also pick up some kitchen paper and a bottle cap that I had been eyeing all day.

An phortaingéilis – ní teanga atá ann ach rún diaga. Tóg, mar shampla, an focal 'desaparecido' (disappeared). Deireann muintir na háite 'zaparsíd'. Um copo de vinho do Porto? Não – 'Um cop d'vin d'Port'.
