    This reminds me of my last and final salvia trip. I fell through a black hole (my black papasan chair) and landed in the Steamboat Willie cartoon, except the colors were black, white, and evil. Then a giant red theater curtain fell on me, and I was back in reality, except everything was made of squares that were rotating on their vertical axis.

    Every time I see posts like this I remember a frequent argument I had in the early 2000’s.

    Every time I talked with photography students (I worked at an art school) or a general photography enthusiast, I got the same smug predictions about digital photography. The resolution sucked, the color sucked, the artist doesn’t have enough control, etc. They all assured me that digital photography might be nice for casual vacation photos and maybe a few specialty applications but no way, no how, not even when hell freezes over would any serious photographer ever consider digital.

    At the time I would think back to my annoying grade school discussions with teachers who assured me that (dot matrix) printers just sucked. Serious writing was done by hand and if you didn’t know cursive you might as well be illiterate.

    For some reasons people keep forgetting that technology marches on. The dumb glitches that are so easy to make fun of now, will get addressed. There are billions of dollars pouring into AI development. Every major company and country is developing them. The pay rates for AI developer jobs attract huge amounts of people to solve those problems.

        We have plenty of indication, when we look at past technologies that plenty thought to have plateaued still being improved.

        Didn’t Bill Gates think spam would been a thing of the past … in 2006.

        My junk folder disagrees.

    It’s shocking to me how many people try to make cakes without fear. It just doesn’t taste the same without it

    My spouse is now mocking me because I giggled in front of a picture of ingredients. “Ooooh funny… ingredients… oh … oh … oh…”

    If I had a penny for every “this new stuff will never work” or "this new stuff will never take off "and then it did, I could probably afford nice dinner.

      No, Dall-e 3, an AI known for creating brilliant pictures, but isn’t trained on general intelligence nor cooking, is the one creating bad recipes.
