Guess what! Turns out the "product" part of art is what AI does, and the "art" part still needs humans 0235

Reposted by @lvertiz.bsky.socialDeva Woodly @devawo.bsky.social · 10hReally, it changes people decision rule for which policy they prefer. Underlying attitudes don’t change very fast, but we usually have *competing underlying attitudes* so the arguments that are made in public help us chose which attitude will help us make the policy/candidate decision. 1373
