It is also true for a gun. With a gun, you can make someone write code for you.
Jokes aside, I find it condescending to claim that computers are better for arts than other tools. While a physical paintbrush might be not Turning-complete, it is physical. Restricting all parts of artistic expression to virtual media is, well, restrictive.
- melenaboija 5y agoI would say a physical paintbrush is Turning Complete and, doesn’t the fact that you can write anything with it (therefore any code) make it Turing Complete too in some way?
- wizzwizz4 5y agoThe combination of your brain, your arm, the paintbrush, the paint, and an infinite supply of paper is Turing-complete, because it can simulate a Turing machine.
