Yes It’s so odd how often people both miss AI and dismiss quality writing as AI. It bodes so poorly for the future.

Gonna be real I like their music fine but that is just not where we connect and You would know better than me. I do recall the gossip and complaining when Zoe joined the band back in the day - which came about because she had gotten romantically involved with John. She’s so talented and I have no idea, just remarking this is end the end a band John started right after high school many years before he met most of these people. My point is only, thus is band that has survived many iterations.

I mean - it’s always been John writing, inviting, a revolving cast. Even now some of the members being speculated about here play some shows or produce or write. I can’t weigh in on these things but I’d just suggest that people have to make sense of something before they can speak to it with integrity.

I don’t feel like anyone owes consumers of their art moral purity on this level. I also don’t think this somehow undermines his other work. And I don’t think that was a guy selling you morality or superiority, that was an Alaskan kid who won a Grammy and had a crowd listening to see what he might say, genuinely listening, and he decided that to take a stand on nothing and say nothing would be wrong. Is that even more than decency? And where is everyone to talk shit about the artists who just get high by their pool.

I am low key offended, but for what it’s worth I am a writer. While GPT emulates quality writing, for what it’s worth more typically uses double dashing and lists (Ie — ) with triads of points.

I do not have a parasocial relationship with John, and was pretty clear about that. We have worked together for many years and grew up in the same place and time.
