Elsevier: we will join the lawsuit against Meta for copyright infringement for AI training. Elsevier: Yes, this AI representation of an ear is an accurate representation for this mathematical model. Fig. 1. Schematic figure representing (...) the cochlea. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

$AI generated image of the inner ear. It shows an ear and then a spiral channel that just continues in fractal way inside with nonesensical patterns and labels like Scala vestibuli in the ear lobe, sensorineural hearing loss located in one of the trippy spirals and "Sluid fluid flow"$

I wonder if LR ever met Paul Simon. I feel Blue Mask and Graceland are really similar. Both responses to middle age, maybe it's Fernando Saunders's bass tone www.youtube.com/watch?v=x663...
