Look, I know computers are great and everything, but these lovely fuckers sink carbon, produce food and oxygen, stabilise the soil, help prevent flash floods, attract wildlife, self replicate, smell nice, and don't have an AI chatbot interface.

It's so sad that Mozilla can pay an entire team of people to make my life worse, whereas I only have one of me to try to make my life better. They simply move faster than I can.

Most websites are awful… They load slowly, render erratically, and hide their content behind megabytes of JavaScript. They glitch on mobile. They frustrate users and confuse search engines. They’re impossible to maintain. And somehow, we’re calling this progress.

Can a person use AI to make art? Of course! There are lots of questions about the ethics of doing that, but it’s certainly possible.

But anyone who can make art using an AI can already make art. AI didn’t make art more accessible to them; not even a little. In most cases, all it did was get in the way of them making art that matters to anyone. It undermined the whole exercise of creating art. The process is the point.
