Ben, I didn't like it either. The plastic cloned people, the fake <br>
plastic grins, it never let up. I had a neighbor who looked kinda like <br>
she could have been their model, but she was just one girl and very nice.<br>
<br>
I listened for a bit and turned it off. Personally I like some country <br>
music, at least like it better those other styles that "sing" about <br>
hitting, raping, killing. Yuk.<br>
<br>
If this is a good example of AI then I'm not too worried about it (yet), <br>
it's too fake.<br>
