@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. 2 comments
@jnadeau I think AI generated art is doing incredible harm, largely because of the extensive use of plagiarism in it's creation, but the argument that it's somehow counter to human nature? I'm not so sure. There are lots of people who enjoy hard work, or at least enjoy specific kinds of hard work that they're good at, but there's tons of real actual humans who want the result without any of the effort of getting there. |

@jnadeau Thus the incredible rise of "AI". It's a shortcut machine. Have an idea? Here's a janky implementation of your idea that skips all that hard "training" and "work" that you don't want to perform.
