@chojubo I also added a condition that the songs should not be added to the library in past 3 months. I think like that it’s even more “rediscover” :)
@lina I feel the same way, but it seems there are some issues with the methodology https://mastodon.social/@grimalkina/114837000070700830
Sean HeberChatGPT and other AI services are basically killing @Iconfactory and I'm not exaggerating or being hyperbolical.
First Twitter/Elon killed our main app revenue that kept the lights on around here, then generative AI exploded to land a final blow to design revenue.
Dustin L. Howett“What are we actually saying here — that even Microsoft has to evaluate usage of “AI” directly, because it doesn’t affect performance enough to have an obvious impact otherwise? That the technology is so limp that even its biggest investor has to strong-arm its own employees into using it? That their own employees don’t want to use it?”

@baldur thank you :)) seems to be inline with another recent “study” by Microsoft. This one had larger sample, but was self-reported, so.. 🤷🏻♂️ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/the-impact-of-generative-ai-on-critical-thinking-self-reported-reductions-in-cognitive-effort-and-confidence-effects-from-a-survey-of-knowledge-workers/
I’m looking forward to see what follows up.
The Impact of Generative AI on Critical Thinking: Self-Reported Reductions in Cognitive Effort and Confidence Effects From a Survey of Knowledge Workers - Microsoft Research
The rise of Generative AI (GenAI) in knowledge workflows raises questions about its impact on critical thinking skills and practices. We survey 319 knowledge workers to investigate 1) when and how they perceive the enaction of critical thinking when using GenAI, and 2) when and why GenAI affects their effort to do so. Participants shared […]

XWiki SAS💸 Germany sends €204.5M to Microsoft annually while European open-source projects need investment.
Our Account Manager's analysis shows how redirecting these funds could:
✔️End vendor lock-in cycles
✔️Strengthen data sovereignty
✔️Create local tech jobs
✔️Support FLOSS innovation
XWiki, CryptPad and other open-source solutions prove alternatives exist, they just need proper funding.
