1 month agoWas looking for classic Halloween music mixes on YouTube Music the other day while carving pumpkins with my daughter. A few well known songs came up and then all of a sudden songs that were not Halloween songs started playing in the list (some were regular well ( own pop songs). I let it go on for a few minutes and started seeing a theme that the non-halloween song had a often repeated word that was associated with Halloween… Demon, spirit, spooky… So AI generated playlists based on keywords?
Then came along AI generated “Halloween classic” songs that sounded as if they were from the 1950’s. They were ok, but annoying knowing that it was just slop.

the Cow was the Dish of the Day at Milliways, which arrived when Zaphod Beeblebrox (accompanied by Arthur, Ford, and Trillian) requested to ‘meet the meat’. It was described as a large dairy animal, a “large fat meaty quadruped of the bovine type.” It was said to have large watery eyes, as well as small horns and what might have been an ingratiating smile on its lips. The creature seems peaceful and at ease, and at one point is described to have “mooed.”
The creature offers Zaphod and his party his shoulder, braised in a white wine sauce, then goes on to offer other parts of its body, having worked hard to fatten itself up through force-feeding itself for months. Eventually, after Arthur and Trillian have expressed their shock and Ford has expressed his disinterest, Zaphod requests four rare steaks and the Dish of the Day goes off to shoot himself, telling Arthur not to worry, as he says “I’ll be very humane.”[1]
