That day is very near. "Give me a new Front Line Assembly album with 10 tracks. It should sound more like Tactical Neural Implant than Implode."

@feliz
That actually makes a lot of sense. It seemed to have no trouble at all with historical date ranges.

@aspiringcat
It's definitely possible. The problem with the prompts is that chat GPT has a problem with lying. So if it can't find real songs it will actually make some up. But in that case right now it just can't find them on Spotify and so it ignores them.

Wow. That little strip is a recipe for loneliness and depression. I hope the weather is nice.

@LouisIngenthron But that's easy for you and I because we know better. For "average user" who has no understanding or interest in decentralization, they need the path to least resistance. And yes, that brings us back to a centralized onboarding experience.

@LouisIngenthron "Gmail".

@LouisIngenthron If I asked you the question "What page do I go to to get on Mastodon?" -- what would your answer be?

Right now there is no simple answer aside from pointing them at the major instances (which is how most people are migrating over). That's contrary to the whole idea of decentralization though.

The best implementation I've seen is that site that asks you some simple questions and then points you at a short list of potential instances to choose from. I think that exact process needs a centralized landing page.

@LouisIngenthron You've made my point for me because email is a great example of something that's had many years of private companies putting money into making access to it easier to access (for better or for worse). See gmail, Hey, ProtonMail etc.

You can definitely say they "don't want to understand it" but in as far as the goal is widespread adoption, they shouldn't have to, should they? If I asked my aunt what SMTP server she is using, she has no idea, but she sure can send me 20 ancient memes about Jesus every day.
