So I forced myself to use #AI assisted coding for a week as an experiment.

This is a genre I absolutely never listen to (except for the once-or-twice-a-year use of the Myst soundtrack for ambience)
Logged into #Spotify this morning. My "daily mix 1"--a mix I basically rely on for all my music--was no longer recommending anything I like and was full of junk from a genre I've never even heard of.
I wonder if they switched to AI recommendations over the weekend π€

I've been hosing down my deck every couple of hours to keep from burning doggo and people-o paws alike.
I just thought it was interesting because I'd never run across the phrase "dodgy import" in any of the non-AI google searches I've done in the past.

"...addressing the issue with the previous dodgy import. The file has been updated successfully."
Since when does an AI refer to things as "dodgy import"s ??
I don't know if there's anything left in my career worth accomplishing.

It's basically all downhill from here.
I did try AI first, but it was completely wrong.
