I personally don't enjoy games like COD, but it's disingenuous to believe one of the most lucrative franchises to exist, played and enjoyed by billions worldwide, is garbage. You may not like it, but you can't declare it a garbage game as it certainly has its appeal. Doing so reeks of 'old-man-yelling-at-kids-to-get-off-his-lawn'.
As for your other point, it is certainly an unpopular opinion. For a lot of people gaming is an escape from reality, yes, but video games as an artistic expression can also represent reality and even mirror it. I don't know what you mean by 'realism'; is it graphical fidelity? Is it mechanics and its level of abstraction to model our world? There is certainly a conversation to be had here, but I would say how closely a game should mirror real life should depend on what type of game we are talking about, after all.

This is wrong, argentina also borders bolivia and Paraguay doesn't border chile

This a good change. Reviews aren't there to be funny, they are there to be informative

How can Putin accuse them of provocation when it's him invading Ukraine in the first place it's beyond me

Well for starters the word tyrant comes from Greek, meaning illegitimate ruler. Which one can argue, Caesar was one after he was named dictator for life (several senators were against that). Officially he never was emperor, and he was never elected.

Ever since I stumbled across some videos on YouTube about it, I always picture Elon as Wheatley from Portal 2

In that same article you linked it later says King Willonius, the comedian who produced it, literally wrote the lyrics himself . He literally said (and quoted in the article) 'I think it’s a misconception that people think AI wrote ‘BBL Drizzy'. Then it goes on to talk about how AI may be used for sampling, rather than to create new songs, but spends a couple of paragraphs talking about how it's complicated because of copyright law. And in the end, the song, BBL Drizzy, got pulled from Spotify because AI was used in its production. That directly contradicts OP first comment. I do agree with you that AI is better than I first thought at music, but it's far from perfect. But in any case, thinking that Spotify right now is secretly implanting AI songs is still bonkers (and without proof besides some random YouTube video).

Well, for starters the word of some random YouTubers is not proof, not even remotely. And second, it doesn't make sense as you said it does. I don't know if you've heard the stage at which AI music is right now, but let me tell you it's not good, let alone capable of passing as human-made music. So you are, in fact, spreading bullshit.

That's interesting! I hadn't heard of it. Can you provide a source for that?
