AI: Create without pain. Or limit yourself and never do the things you always wanted to do, and yet you still never actually do them. When you could. If only there were not so many barriers to entry. As a long time Artist who has been doing Art for more than 10 years... I have never felt more fulfilled than I do right now, where every stroke of the pen evolves into something new and beautiful. Every little line, every dash of colour, emerging rapidly into something beautiful. Do you know how meaningful and fulfilling that is as an Artist? AI is never going to replace me. Only make the creative process more fun and enjoyable.

If you're a wordsmith by trade, why do you use so many sentence fragments and weirdly capitalize the words "art" and "artist" constantly?

"The definition of a question, _which many people DON'T know,_ is a request for information when you legitimately don't know the answer." I have a five-year-old who has understood this definition of a question for over 3 years now, and her 2 year-old sister gets the idea too. While there are many reasons I'd like to think my girls are extra-great, I'm pretty sure most people aren't flabbergasted by his definition.

"Many of the people I'm talking to now, they just feel like things are happening too quickly. You know; where did the time go? And it's; the time is still the same. It's just, so many things are happening, we don't know how to adapt to it. We don't know what to do with our time? What makes us uniquely human, yes; large language models are recreating the work that we've already done. And I think often of journalists, in this kind of thing. AI could write an article. But a journalist has to know WHY a story needs to be written. THAT'S what makes us human." I could quote him all day, but I just can't stand Jim's completely untethered, unfocused, meandering monologuing. I've deployed LLMs since Q4 of 2019: even back then, _GPT-2_ had a far better command of both the English language, and the ability to present some semblance of reason, than Jimmy Fraudly has demonstrated here. But, to give him the unearned benefit of these immeasurable doubts he's introduced, I'll gladly answer the pseudo-argument he posed in that sundowning word salad. Yes, we're all faced with tremendous anxiety, uncertainty and the tremendous burden of adaptation and transformation posed by these new technologies. Yet, this itself is not entirely new. We have undergone similar journeys when humanity adopted railways, highways, the internet, the smart phone and the pandemic. Moreover, AI is currently driven by the human beings who thoughtfully instruct it; meaning, if the human understands WHY the article needs to be written, they use the tool correctly, and increasingly over time, that's producing exponentially more valuable results. You're in for a rude awakening when GPT-5 drops in the next month or two, Jim. Truthfully, we ALL are. Accountants, analysts, software architects like myself, even overpaid life coaches who can't string together much more language than a digressive, rambling, vibe-stuffed peregrination of buzzwords and speech pattern interrupts causing the eyes of their clients to glaze over as their brain fogs away until it's time for them to produce the checkbook at the end of the 25-minute session... Yes, LLMs will handily take ALL of those jobs, and probably just about ALL desk jobs, before the end of this decade.

Amazon released their numbers last year - 750,000 robots are working in their warehouses RIGHT NOW! And they aren't all the roomba-looking box carriers, there are a lot of humanoid ones also. Each robot only costs $3/day to operate and does the work of 27 humans. AI + robots will utterly destroy the economy in the next 3 years. We need UBI now!!! (Universal Basic Income)

This sucks. So. Hard. Some dude bloviating about what 'time', 'creativty' 'questions' mean (regarding a.i.) on USA TODAY where the everyperson is looking for a straightforward value proposition. Ooo, piles of existential verbage, oooo.
