@jnadeau The joke about AI eating your dinner also has weird resonance with some people. Consider all the liquid meal replacements, clearly meant to bypass all that boring eating so the person drinking them can speedrun getting their calories and stabilizing their blood sugar.
I'm not going to mock that, as I myself have relied on them more than once, and there's a definite element of assistive-technology to them for certain types of neurodivergence.
@jnadeau I guess the point I'm making is that human beings love shortcuts. In some ways that's most of what our brain does. Most engineering is about making a hard thing easier.
We also, as a species, have an obsession with Ideas and mistakenly believe that Ideas have value. Ideas are practically worthless, we all have hundreds of them, but we treat concepts as if they're worth more than the execution of said concepts.
