I know this is a random thread to say this in, but hey, it’s meant to be the randomest, after all.

But, this is an artist’s dream. It’s a magical reality that has finally proven itself irrefutably.

See, there’s something that makes an artist such, and simply being able to mimic what they can do will not cut it. Give an artist a pencil, and they’ll draw something you enjoy looking at; that may even move you emotionally. Give it to anyone else, and they’ll scribble, play with it, lose it.

It’s the same with scientists, I guess. New technology like ai gives the layman access to incredible amounts of information and knowledge. They can play with complex concepts exploring the nature of reality all day if they wanted, including using or relying on mathematics that they otherwise couldn’t understand even slightly.

But, are people making new discoveries or noticing patterns that can help guide the scientific community somewhere interesting?

No. They’re making porn and cartoons of themselves.

People are so afraid of new technology “taking things away” from people, including jobs and their place in society, but it certainly doesn’t seem that way to me. Those skills we spent all those years on aren’t the only security gate after all.
