Makes me think of "Hook" by Blues Traveler:

    
    
      It doesn't matter what I say
      So long as I sing with inflection
      That makes you feel I'll convey
      Some inner truth or vast reflection
      But I've said nothing so far
      And I can keep it up for as long as it takes
      And it don't matter who you are
      If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks

Now if GPT-2 could write yet another beginner Python lists and tuples blog
post, I prolly wouldn’t notice. If it could write a description which helped
me to get my head around my client’s Swagger API I would be thrilled. No one
really has the time nor patience to explain it to me in a way that clicks.

Is it just me or does this come off as incredibly rude? It’s one thing to say
people are bad at math but the phrasing of this seems insulting without
reason, in my opinion.
