This lighthearted post has something to do with artificial ... but nothing to do with artificial intelligence.
While doing my weekly reading and web browsing (which is how I pick those links you probably think an algorithm selects), I happened upon a post about Michael Jackson on Twitter (now called X), and I enjoyed it (or at least was drawn to click and watch it).
I grew up a huge Michael Jackson fan. As a kid, I watched the Jackson 5 Saturday morning cartoon show. His albums were the soundtrack to my college years. Later, my first wife and I saw him in concert several times. We shared that love with our youngest son, Zach.
It's funny to look back on, but Zach used to dance to Michael Jackson's songs on stage at his Elementary School talent shows or at random restaurants. There was no choreography ... but lots of movement. I still smile when I think about it.
You might smile (or shake your head) while watching this short video chronicling the evolution of Michael Jackson's face changes from birth to death.

It's a staggering difference. I won't pretend to know what led him to make the changes, but they're substantial.
That being said, his music is both timely and timeless - which is very rare. He managed to make music in each era that fit in with the times but still felt very Michael Jackson.

Gone too soon!
