"we've adopted Kindergarten rules..." sad and laughable that we've devolved to that point. Another great interview! Thanks for sharing.

A hammer is a tool, but you can't use it to inflate your tires. There are basic and advanced tools. Find the AI tools that work for you to get your desired outcome. Humanity can still be found in AI tools from filtering from AI to one person at the end of the funnel to make final decisions to a friendly conversation between humans about AI tools and how to use them.

Thanks, Tom, and yes, we get to use the tools to achieve our creative goals.
