AI is a tool. Sure. Guns are tools. Chainsaws are tools. Atom bombs are tools. I'm not sure all of us naked apes will do great things with these tools

Maybe it's because I'm an older reader, or because I like the classics, but I love me some minutiae. Give me detailed meals and travel logs and best of all, descriptions of nature. Plants, clouds, rivers, lakes and animals, scenes described like I've never been outside.

Once upon a time you didn't need any kind of software to make any kind of art. If the art you are making now 100% requires a computer, is it art?

Then I had the CIA murder me and install a puppet dad.
