Wow, yeah it seems entirely plagiarized. It's still a very strange song, but I don't think the AI did anything noteworthy here. Thanks for looking into it!

Oh, yes sorry I didn't realize I could actually link: https://www.musi-co.com/listen/track/test_energylevel

I highly highly recommend listening to the track called "Test_energylevel", it is absolutely bonkers, and more interesting than any of the other tracks I clicked on here. (You have to click on "Explore" and then scroll down a bit to find it)

It starts with a choir of ambient vocals singing "it's a sunshine", there's some bird noises and traffic sounds, a snippet of organ synth flourishes.

Then it all gets started - guitar, sitar, horns, strings a vocal duet singing "Shine your sweet loving down on me"

There's actually a ton going on, every few bars it changes things up, there's clever little harpsichord.

Then a male singer starts proclaiming "It's a sunshine daaaayyy", backed up by a chorus of "yeah, yeah, yeah"s. Honestly it's kind of catchy

The last 30 seconds or so are truly cursed, there's a voice in the right speaker moaning "wide eyed retina. mostly logical", which gets delayed, bitcrushed, and pingponged between the speakers.

Wow! I wonder why this specific track has so much going on compared to the others.

I also enter an absurdly old date, and usually I'll try setting an impossible day/month combo like February 31st... sometimes it actually works!

I really like Jeremy Kun's writing: https://jeremykun.com/ and recommend his book, A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics: https://pimbook.org/.

So far I've only read the first few chapters of the book, and the exercises often feel too difficult to me. But I think he does a great job of easing into mathematical notation, pausing to reflect on what a seasoned mathematician might be thinking when they come across that notation. He also makes a lot of analogies to programming, and has example programs that are easy to follow. It's helpful to have that angle to understand things from.
