    I wonder if AI was used to predict color demand via social media and all it saw was people who were too poor to afford primer and paint in one-go and had to drive around grey…. And it thought that was cool because of the updoots.

    There’s a line from Pulp - Common People that I’ve always enjoyed. It was written about the rich, but I think AI often has the detached reality that rich people do:

    'Cause everybody hates a tourist. Especially one who, who thinks it’s all such a laugh. Yeah, and the chip stains and grease will come out in the bath.

      This grey trend apparently started back in 2013. So, probably not AI.

      And, as a side note, I used to drink in The Washington in Sheffield. The guys from Pulp were regulars.
