Does anyone else sometimes get the feeling that a person in a TV show or movie is somehow AI generated even though you know they aren’t?
What I mean is, ever since seeing a few Sora clips, sometimes I can be watching a person talking in a show or movie where they are clearly using actors and just start getting the feeling that they are AI generated.

Two orgs worth donating to in this season of giving are Wikimedia and Internet Archive.
They aren’t without their controversies, but both Wikipedia and the Wayback Machine are IMO priceless resources and they’re available for free. I’d like to see them continue to be things!
I feel therefore I am.
What’s a good Mac app for listening to music files on your computer? I dislike the Apple Music app for reasons. Currently trying https://swinsian.com/.
