Rest easy JLS. AI still cannot dream, be inspired, be pysically joined to an instrument, play with joy, ..and you are not tied to an algorithm or line of code.

Greg....great analogy and explanation. Thank you

I'm in your camp Ben but not yet as a user. It is a new tool. You can argue all about its design, utility, impact, skills needed to best use the tool etc etc etc

But the real world sees it as a new tool that can help create new outcomes....in many fields for many people. This includes creating new tools.

And the importance of tools cannot be understated. They are means to outcomes. Tool + Technique = Outcome

Earliest known tools made by Hominids are in the Smithsonian...4.3 million years old, made by Australopithecus, found around Lake Turkana in Africa
Many of our worlds animals use them to solve for their needs....to attain outcomes

Our modern world is built on tools and techniques.

In music SUNO has changed its business model and is going legit. It will spew garbage and capture the zeitgeist depending on ....yes outcome....which as the wielder of a new tool the user can master with experience.

If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
