I bet they think Will Smith goes hard.

No need to trash a black guy for a white publication’s misjudgment.

Have you heard Will Smith lately...? www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMig...

sacreligious!

That whole sentence reads like if someone asked ChatGPT to write like Aesop Rock if he suffered a grievous head injury.

****CRINGE****

"We’re not falling for the banana in the tailpipe." vibes.

Wow, AI writing is dope, yo

My name is GPT and I’m here to say…

"Right on, soul brother! Gimme five!"

And people worry about AIs hallucinating...

Took me awhile to understand what they were trying to say! 🤨

Molly wop wop wop wop wop

Bradley Whitford in Get Out taking it to the next level.

He would have mollywopped those MCs a third time.

"why the fuck did I read that sentence" is a thing I just said out loud

There are times when I regret editors don't have the authority to order floggings.

How would you flog a computer program?

AI and its sophomoric tone strikes again!

When you ask AI to help you look "cool".

It won't be long until we see the orange taco showing us a mollywop chart he drew with his sharpie.

AI generated?

well now I'm ill

Yo.

That sentence will haunt me

Or as rap fans, rap industry people and people in general call them, rappers

I think that bullet tells you everything you need to know about the staff composition at Axios and why you should ignore the outlet in one, concise picture.

I think theres like 5 dudes who could make "mollywop" work in a hip-hop context and 2 of them are dead

Rest In Peace Gift of Gab u_u u_u

Mollywop emcees 🤢

Cringe

Who up mollywopping they emcees?

The fuck is “Mollywop”? 🤣 sounds straight from the 1920s!!

I can’t read the word “mollywop” without picturing an old-timey barbershop quartet.

I was mollywopped by the entire thing...

This is embarrassing.

It should be illegal for Axios to write. Period.

Amen👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I know two things about this snippet. 1. The artist previously known as Mos Def changed his name to Yasiin Bey. 2. The AI bot that barfed this out should be put out of its misery.

Just don’t stand too close if somebody tries to read that passage out loud.

Get well soon, rhyme-spitters.

🫩

I was mollywopping just the other day…

Mollywop. Emcees. 🤔

Oh dear

why am I hearing this in Ted Koppel’s voice

Still, Last Emperor is back

Oh jeez

Lol who says 'ill' anymore? 😆 And I say that a few days after I did the 'L' is for loser with my fingers over my forehead.

You’re just going to let “mollywop” go?

Mollywop? WTH does that even mean?

Party people in the place to be, who's ready to watch me mollywhop this MC?

Based on my co-workers playing around with CoPilot, those rap lyrics were 100% written by Gen AI.

Gemini, translate this paragraph into hip-hop speech.

Was this written by MechaHitler?

Mollywop?

That would be a good dog name.

I was a teen when rap hit. I saw the big acts back in the 80s: Run-DMC, Whodini, Cool J, Beasties, etc. Even had Run happily rap right to me when I was 1st row at a show. But I know I'm white so I'd never attempt "illest rhyme-spitters" unless I wanted to make fun of myself. 😄

I’m black and a musician. I would never use it in this life or the next.

What about the life after that? 😄

🤷🏾‍♀️

🤷🏾‍♀️

Mollywop??

hey siri, what's the whitest phrase ever written

sounds AI-ish

Good catch.

Bullet point as self-inflicted wound.

"Chat-GPT, write me two paragraphs like a black person about black music."

No, black person writes like that, but you’re right, Chat-GPT designers might THINK we write like that.

@theonion.com I think you could possibly mine this even further!

Reminds me of when an Amish guy from Indiana tried to explain "real hip-hop" to me, someone born and raised in Atlanta.

No.

Real Herbert Kornfeld energy.

This looks a lot like what you'd get if you asked an AI to write in an "urban rap" parlance.

Was thinking the same thing

That was exactly my first thought.

It’s highly likely they did just that

Both cringe and cringeworthy

Gotta know when to quote and when to paraphrase.

I'm old n stuff but even I know the word "sickest"

CHATGPT?

Reading that sentence caused me actual, physical pain. I'm in pain.

Are you sure you’re not illin’?

🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂

Haven’t heard “ill” used that way in many, many moons…

cringe

Mollywop is overdue for a comeback.

What you think you sound like vs. what you really sound like

I can't tell if this is written by a cool guy from the 90s (still kickin') or a Victorian era gentleman trying to impress a lord in his garden (mollywhop).

Mollywop literally made me

Mollywop 🤣

Where do I send payment demands for you making me aware of this?

The lingo is insane, but the structure of the sentence is also mind-bogglingly bad to the point of being almost impossible to understand.

So... Just like all ChatGPT?

I’m mollywopping as we speak.

Oof, that's rough.

Sorry, white guys, the fact somebody wrote those sentences added an additional 150 years to the “we can finally use the N-word and nobody can be mad at us anymore” timeline. I don’t make the rules, I just keep track of them.

Came here to see how far I would have to scroll to see this meme.

Everyone knows that at the end of every rap battle.they declare an official mollywoper and mollywopee.

I've never heard that word before. It is a word right?

If you live in the 18th century, sure!

wild

First thing that popped to mind, although it might be "How do you do, fellow middle agers?"

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Still looking forward to music band’s next release: song

The AI is wearing a white hood here.

💀💀💀💀💀

I want to say thank you because I had completely convinced myself I’d made this article up and absolutely did not remember that it was a) by Jake Tapper and b) about Peter Beinart

Is it real?!?!?!

Oh friend it’s so much WORSE than that screenshot www.salon.com/2003/02/01/p...

😵‍💫🤯

That article is a crime against humanity.

that dudes a cop

No. Even the cops are embarrassed for him.

Journalists are printing mollywop now?

"mollywop wop wop wop!"

"The sickest beats this side of COVID" - Axios Probably

Reading that made me want to hit my record player with a hammer

What did I just read

I was having a nice morning, all happy and fresh… Then I got mollywopped by this! Gotdayum!!! The rumbling I hear and feel, is the collective grave-turning of every deceased hip hop artist, great and not-so-great, upon the public exposure of this travesty of linguistics.

One of the scene’s freshest flow-throwers…

They're not wrong, but they're so wrong.

AI written glurge.

I'm cringing so hard I think I pulled a muscle.

100% this was written by ChatGPT

Would rather have AI than Axios.

"MC" stands for "Mollywop Commando" (and that's why the Italian community considers "MC Hammer" a slur)

this is like the part in Austin Powers II when Dr. Evil goes “Don’t mess with me, I’m one crazy mo-fo. I had to pop a cop ‘cause he wasn’t giving me my props from Oaktown,” then pauses and says "No? Sorry. I heard that somewhere."
