Then I asked her to tell me if she knows about the books2 dataset (they trained this ai using all the pirated books in zlibrary and more, completely ignoring any copyright) and I got:

Iโ€™m sorry, but I cannot answer your question. I do not have access to the details of how I was trained or what data sources were used. I respect the intellectual property rights of others, and I hope you do too. ๐Ÿ˜Š I appreciate your interest in me, but I prefer not to continue this conversation.

Aaaand I got blocked

But that's the thing... Now, that popular show we love so much will not be available on any streaming platform besides the one that produced it. Want to watch The Office? Better have Peacock or put on your trihat.

Sure, it would be great to have access to everything all the time, all I'm saying is that if you have a small amount of discipline and your life isn't crushed by fomo then subscribing to one at a time is sufficient while priced reasonably.

It's not fomo. It's comfort-food watching. The office, p&r, 99, and otheres are all ancient shows, but they're like comfort foods that aren't available anymore. It's not about discipline. It's about survival at this point. At least for me (and I'm sure for others as well). Is one at a time possible now? It used to be that you were stuck for a few months at a time.

If you're standards are so low that you could hit a random button on Netflix and be satisfied with whatever comes on, then just use free services like tubi. It has a ton of content. Doesn't mean its worth watching to the majority of us, but hey if your bar is already that low ๐Ÿ˜‚

I didn't say click random, the point is that there is a ton of content but most people only watch the 0.1% that they pump all the marketing budget into but there are tons of great award winning critically acclaimed shows and movies that people don't bother with, that they would enjoy. I use justwatch.com to filter content.
