  • I like to look at art and think that someone grew a little as a person as a result of creating it. Doesn’t really matter if it is good or bad art. But if they just prompted a machine to do it then their skillset did not grow in the same way and I view it as having less achievement to it. Idk. Every human-created artwork has a person in it and machine art has markedly less of a person in it.









  • A while ago I became terribly aware of people writing things like “apostrope’s” to indicate plurality. I was pretty convinced that it was a new thing, but I’ve since found examples of people doing that far in the past! I’m not sure if they were doing it at the same rate but they had been doing it for a while.

    I know that some foreign language speakers use this as part of their grammar, but they do so according to a rule system. The people I encounter doing this have only ever known american english and do so without any apparent consistency. If you’re going to alter your grammar in that way, at least make it consistent! Like these weirdos. Professionals have standards.
