I agree, but according to some people this is just statistics too. Not sure I agree with this but yeah. Don’t be surprised if you get a response like that :)


Don’t get me wrong, what’s technically been accomplished with the creation of generative AI is amazing. It’s just that it doesn’t make your average person off the street suddenly think with the novelty or acumen of a Max Ernst or John Carmack. But I also doubt that said average person has those aspirations (Max Ernst or John Carmack wouldn’t be exceptional if they did) and also expect that those that do will get buried under the onslaught of pedestrian schlock.
