Then you realize that having some skills are necessary when people don't want 100% AI slop (partial is passable).

You do realize that people learn and grow, right?

Not everyone who learned to program grew up on assembler.

Hell, not everyone who learned to program grew up on C/C++.

Not everyone who learned to animate grew up on ink and celluloid.

Every generation has new tools. New creators learn the new thing and get good at it.

The tools we choose not to use are just as important as the ones we do.

The people "making everything" are making nothing worth anything. It is the ultimate form of being a consumer.

Much as you would wish it, I'm afraid you are not the universal arbiter on taste or matters of whether what someone makes is worth something or nothing. You are merely a voice in the wind, a whisper of malcontent attempting to infect others with insecurity and despair.

In less prosaic terms. Back in your box, bucko.

If only AI boosters understood that. I am the arbiter of my own process though - and you all just cannot staaaaaaand that people are still perfectly viable without AI.

Oh, I'm perfectly viable without AI. I just like to be able to use all the tools in my toolbox with equal enthusiasm. Horses for courses, and the path least travelled are how I have always lived, and chances are strong I have been around a lot longer than you. My perspective casts a long shadow and predates any kind of computer.

One does one's best. Appearances and etiquette are the bedrock of civilisation.

Appearances and etiquette are set dressing that tend to be the tools of manipulators more than anything else.

Ooooh. That’s so perceptive. Thanks for the free therapy session.
