Wow, you wrote that poem? Well that just proves my point: no AI can make a poem of that poetic quality. It just can't. What the Count wrote there has ...

Is there a thread on medieval universals where we can discuss this? It interests me, but I don't want to start a new thread if no one cares.

Damn, that's a metal thing to say. Tasteless wankery? Dream Theater? Well that applies to all of Heavy Metal, now doesn't it? What is Black Sabbath if...

Dragonforce is a real head-scratcher for me at the end of the day. I mean, on the face of it, their idea makes sense, right? 1) Heavy Metal is more te...
