I'm sad it makes me sound like such a pie-in-the-sky hippie when I say I think everyone's contributions are not just special, but essential, and that's why this whole mentality pisses me off so much, especially in the indie space.

Artists are like "Finally, I can have Ai do my code! But good art takes a special touch."
Coders are like "Finally, I can have Ai do my art! But good code takes a special touch."
"Idea Guys", who never learned anything but want to make a game because they like playing them, are leading the charge. They're so excited to put everyone who makes those games out of a job because they think they'll finally get to "achieve their dreams" with freaking prompts.

But for the people who do the work, why the heck are skilled artisans so ready to sell out their comrades? This "highly competitive" nonsense, and one-great-glorious-man myth has simply turned us on each other, when the people with pointless bullshit jobs are somehow still employed, simply serving to harass and bother the people getting things done.

Meanwhile the only task where current AI seems truly competitive is porn.

Well it sure has a heckuva data set from every possible angle and lighting setup, doesn't it? 😬 Lol
