It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from creepy Oklahoma County Commissioner Myles Davidson.
If you remember correctly, the last time we checked in on him, he was accused of making stalky, unwanted advances toward an OKC woman he worked with...
To Myles’ credit, he hasn’t let the embarrassing details of the case, like him pathetically and obtusely offering to leave his wife for a woman who had no interest in him, derail him from doing what he does best – waste taxpayer dollars to share AI slop on social media!
For example, instead of using AI to write hallow social media posts remembering veterains, he’s now using it to create country music ballads about laying asphalt in Edmond. If that sounds as bad as you think it is, check this out:
Wow. That’s wild! AI is a future-altering tool that will transform the world in ways we can’t imagine, but I had no clue one of its early cultural contributions would be making country music even worse.
That's almost an accomplishment.
You see, the problem with Davidson's AI slop project is that watching, listening, or reading someone else’s AI creation is on par with mental torture. It’s like having to hear about someone’s weird dream, their fantasy football team, or their half-baked plan to leave their wife for a coworker all at once!
Sure, I guess it’s a cool deal to the person who dreamed the dream, drafted the team, or stalked their co-worker, but it’s completely uninteresting to everyone else.
Well, unless your name is Richard Mize.
The longtime Oklahoman reporter noticed the song and video on Facebook, and instead of quickly swiping up and then holding his ears in disgust, wrote a long article in The Oklahoman praising it, even going so far as to include the lyrics:
We build 'em strong in Edmond, Oklahoma, with the blacktop under our feet.
We're laying asphalt to last for decades, oh, you'll feel the difference every time you drive down these streets.
It's a smooth ride on these asphalt roads, we'll get you where you're going as fast as you can go.
These asphalt roads are built to last.
Keep on movin' forward, yeah.
Keep on movin' forward, keep on movin' forward − on these asphalt roads.
Wow. Even by lazy AI standards, that’s pretty awful. Could he not have updated his prompt to include, “Make some words rhyme and include references to blue jeans, heartache, and beer?”
Anyway, while Davidson keeps moving forward producing AI slop, I think we’re going to move forward to cover his VPO and sexual assault allegations. According to OSCN, a hearing on that will take place January 12th. I can’t wait to hear what AI country song Myles writes to explain that one!
Stay with The Lost Ogle. We’ll keep you advised.
