The more I debate awful, awful AI bros, the more I've come to appreciate that intent really is the core difference between consuming and creating.

Of course, there are happy accidents, discoveries along the way and you can even, sometimes, get lucky with no experience or plan (but I would wager, just the once). But without intent driving your decisions, you will never cook, sing, write, draw, paint or create anything worthwhile.

And this is what the people championing AI don't seem to grasp. It's all missing intention & people can feel that, even without knowing why. Even when it drapes itself in the stolen skin of competence, it's all empty inside.

AND when they go-on to argue that it's up to people to fill that void, that it's 'only a tool' they don't understand that this is the worst way to create, anything! It's like starting with an ornate shell of frosting & telling people they just need to "fill it with delicious cake"
