Howdy everyone. I just interviewed Homer about Eskimo Live, the albums' significance and the impact The Residents have had. And in case anyone has is wondering about their AI usage, Homer opens up about that ,too.

I'm doing some research into the practical problems developers run into when building products on top of third-party AI models/APIs. I'm trying to understand if there is a consistent issue or issues or if it varies.
I'm not talking hypotheticals but actual pain points: Model behavior changing. Pricing. Rate limits. Reliability. Something else entirely. Etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Since there's no work to be had that I can find as a creative director copywriter, I've been hitting up in-house companies and start ups. I had an interview with a company via their AI chat bot the other day.
Curious if any others have experienced this.
I found it dystopian but in a morbidly fascinating way. It was interesting to hear an uncanny valley voice tell me how in awe it was that I did work for Apple. But it was actually harder than presenting work to the CMO of Apple, because I couldn't get past the fact i wasn't talking to a real human.
I just interviewed Sonic Boom in the wake of his announcement last week that he and Panda Bear are going to do things differently regarding music. This quote still resonates with me.
"My big belief is the thing you have to be first to get creative is to be bored. People are so quick to be distracted by their phones that they don’t see the trees for the wood."
