Carrie has been reading “I Choose Me,” by Jennie Garth and reminds everyone that she was cooler when she was a teenager. And we are definitely talking about Taylor Swift’s application to trademark her voice and likeness. Can Taylor save us from AI slop hell? Only time and the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office will tell.
