Yeah! I'm not sure what the general state of things is with ISPs (I suppose you've gleaned it?), but it sure seems weird that the Internet connects everyone's home to everyone's home, and it isn't remotely normal to… essentially "call each other" for web sites and whatever else people might choose to set up.

I gather that's purely an instance of wordplay, and expect a fair amount of people missing that entirely because they're frustrated at the excesses either of wokeness or of other people being excessively frustrated at wokeness.

To the pseudonymous participant here:

Searching around a little, I'd say it looks more like a typical deliberate smear move than an innocuous use of a literal phrase. Considering that it doesn't appear to be a genuine campaign slogan and it does appear to have the traits of similar ploys, I don't think it's more likely, no. You're certainly entitled to think it is, though.

@Gargron –

That's a fair characterization at least of the *current* forms of AI we've seen, but it sounds like you're only considering AI in the role of an artist – that's far from "no place." The whole sentiment sounds a little to me like: "paintbrushes don't even emulate anything – they're inanimate objects that just sit there. They have no place in the arts."

As I understand it, the team has unfortunately been working to improve it.
