@mttaggart I hate the "democratizing knowledge" and "democratizing creativity" argument so much. these things are already democratized. there are endless resources online and in libraries that can help people develop their skills, expand their sensibilities and learn things for free. all AI does is let you pretend you've put in the work; it lets you roleplay someone who actually has drive. it's an empty aesthetic sold in fancy packaging en masse, like a tshirt that says "be excellent to each other" made in a sweatshop on the other side of the world.
