I was debating pre- and post- smartphone existentialism with an older gentleman today and he stopped part way through and said “Why are you a security guard? Why aren’t you teaching this at some college somewhere?” And I didn’t know what to say so I went with “Well I used to make art but nobody pays an artist”

-- Ted Chiang, from "Why A.I. Isn't Going to Make Art"

[oldshrewsburyian]

Generative A.I. appeals to people who think they can express themselves in a medium without actually working in that medium.
