This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If you could make a time machine and ask all of those people who their inspirations are you will get a list of multiple people from each. No one is 100% uninspired by other people. That's just not how art or science works.

That doesn't mean AI can replace human creativity. Maybe it will. Maybe it won't. Maybe we'll reject it for not being human for as long as its distinguishable. But the argument that visionaries in human history were somehow uninspired is not the reason why AI won't get there.

Good thing I didn't make that argument you're criticising
