i think it's neat how every time i make something i get a little better at making things, and every time you rent the ability to make things from a slop machine you get a little worse at making things. imagine how talented we'll both be after a few years of this :3

@aeva My favorite is making things I've never made before and learning new stuff along the way.

Outsourcing that to the slop machine sort of misses the entire point of the exercise.

@swetland making new things I've never made before is so fun! imagine giving that up for *nothing*
@aeva It really is a head scratcher... the slop likers seem to want to give up everything to the machines... learning, creating, thinking, understanding... just outsource it all to mindless, soulless, unoriginal regurgitated slop... what a sad way to live.

@aeva In a way I mostly feel bad for a lot of the random people who've bought into this nonsense.

The people who utterly enrage me are the evangelists and execs pushing this shit on people, mandating its use, and so on.
