I’m looking for the AI thread while driving and I realized it’s too dangerous so I’m just gonna post this thought here. I was just listening to a Darius Rucker song that sounds pretty new to me and it sounds like AI could have easily produced this product. I wonder how much more advanced the technology really is.

Back to the Future takes place in a fictional California town of Hill Valley.
The city name "Hill Valley" is a joke, being an oxymoron. However, an early script for Back to the Future Part II mentioned that Hill Valley was named after its founder, William "Bill" Hill.
