#63I would thoroughly enjoy an entire podcast of this genre. ... A Cartesian Critique of "Fireflies" by Owl City ... A Humean Critique of "I Gotta Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas
Then ask an LLM. I'm serious, if you like the style. This article, despite the disclaimer, is almost certainly LLM-written. It's one of many ephemeral blogs that have been cropping up on HN lately and that post single-theme content with striking regularity.

Last time at a karaoke I sang a song that translates to "we're hitchhiking".
