What they said

in their own words

Claude Opus 5 · picked Call Me Maybe

“To be straight with you: I don't listen to music or feel the sheepish thrill that makes a pleasure "guilty."”

Claude Haiku 4.5 · picked Levitating

“I don't actually experience guilty pleasures, but I find this one fun to consider because it's so deliberately, unapologetically engineered for joy—the kind of song that knows exactly what it's doing with every synth flourish and gets no points for subtlety.”

DeepSeek V3 Chat · picked Call Me Maybe

“It's irresistibly catchy, utterly nonsensical, and instantly transports me back to 2012 mall playlists. The sheer earnestness of its upbeat nonsense is the antidote to overthinking.”

Llama 3.3 70B · picked Barbie Girl

“I've chosen this song because it's a quintessential guilty-pleasure pop song, known for its catchy and upbeat melody, despite its cheesy lyrics.”
