Yeah but this also doesn’t read like something that pretends to get into the underpinnings of AI. It’s about the friction that AI removes from making things and the discomfort with what that might mean. This point is fair and your take on productive people is reductive. People aren’t 1:1 factories. I’ve been watching my spouse participate in a seriously intensive prestigious typography course. It’s quite fascinating to watch how a part of the process involves slow walking through all of the tedious hand lettering stuff. Like mr. Miyagi level training. The depth and complexity of things they’re discovering and learning at a deep level by hand is quite enlightening. It would not be possible to convey other than by this process - to understand how to design typography you basically have to practically engage with how it was in every other earlier historical period. I believe this is the essence of the point of the article - that working through your ideas by hand involved lots of friction which was valuable in training you how to slow down your thinking. And now that is being done away and everyone can fart out nuanced BS and disregard anything that is more than a paragraph long.
