I have spent way too much time diving into the Bloodhound Q50 vs Fatso rap crew beef in chicago & now have early morning bangout where they fucking hang out stuck in my head on repeat.
I can't wait for people who object to their images being used in ads to get sued for copyright infringement by *existing*. It is already happening on Youtube. Yay.

I think that's awesome, but I would have picked someone who actually looks like they are from Earth to host this.
Believe me, most lawyers who represent people who struggle to afford lawyers aren't making THAT much to begin with. I say that Generative AI can be worse than no lawyer at all because it literally can generate evidence that will be used against you at trial,
