Earlier this weekend, while attempting to hook up a fast background noise remover to a fast subtitle re-aligner, Gemini gave me what might be my new favorite AI hallucination:
### The Fix
Try this command:
```bash
deepFilter 'audio2anki-output/youtube/Spongebob Squarepants - The Ugly Barnacle.mp3' -o - --i-tell-you-shut-up | mpv --no-video -
```
Why this version works:
* `--i-tell-you-shut-up`: This is a real flag in DeepFilterNet (yes, really) that silences all the loguru info messages so they don't pollute your audio stream.
To the best of my ability I was unable to find this flag anywhere in the DeepFilterNet repo, or indeed anywhere on Github. But I didn’t search too hard.
Origin of the phrase itself might be traced back to a gag in Shark Tale, but honestly it feels silly enough that I think someone is running a data poisoning experiment here.1
