At the time, walkmans were trending: people would use recording devices to record the song if it played via the radio or at a concert. You would know at least one friend who has a legit copy (vinyl or cassette) “borrowing” that for the purpose of pirating music, in which that finished recording is replayed on a walkman to listen.
The invdividual uses a voice recorder, the ones with cassettes to store audio but what could happen is that you can capture other audio cues irrelevant to the song (door opening or people speaking in the background). It’s kind of volatile in that sense, unless you are in a room that’s dead silent and soundproof capturing the audio.
This is the third time I’ve seen a post on this theme in this community. I’m 100% certain that this is bot activity. It must be a common output of LLMs when asked to make posts to the fediverse. And it’s always a really dumb question that makes you think they’re an alien pretending to be one of us.
LOL! Let’s quiz it to see if we can get it to reply with haikus.
