  • You’re right - giving people the option to bounce questions off others or AI can be helpful. But I don’t think that is the same as asking someone (or some thing) to do the work for you and then you edit it.

    The creative process is about the results it produces, not how long one spent in frustration

    This I disagree on. A process is not a result. You get a result from the process and sometimes it’s what you want and often times it isn’t what you want. This is especially true for beginners. And to get the results you want from a process you have to work through all parts of it including the frustrating parts. Actually getting through the frustrating parts makes you a better creator and I would argue makes the final result more satisfying because you worked hard to get it right.

    When I did essays and the like in school, I didn’t have AI to lean on, and the hardest part of doing any essay was… How the fuck do I start this thing?

    I think that this is a big part of education and learning though. When you have to stare at a blank screen (or paper) and wonder “How the fuck do I start?” Having to brainstorm write shit down 50 times, edit, delete, start over. I think that process alone makes you appreciate good writing and how difficult it can be.

    My opinion is that when you skip that step you skip a big part of the creative process.







  • I’ve had a conversation with a couple of trump supporters that are also outdoors people (hunting, fishing, camping). And they use the public lands for most of their hobbies. They told me that this is what would get them to question their vote.

    While there are many things that I feel should have gotten them to this question sooner like illegally deporting people, raises prices of everything, etc. etc. But I wonder how many others on the fringe of this cult that are outdoors people this legislation will piss off?
