As mosburger says, this is a great analogy. Do you think that the great artists paint, sculpt, and draw everything by hand, by themselves? Of course not... they never did, and they don't today. You're being offered the ability to join their ranks.

Art historians spend a lot of time arguing about whether a given Leonardo was really a product of Leonardo's hand, for example. This quick-and-dirty prompt returns results in line with my own understanding (which of course doesn't necessarily mean the exact figures are correct): https://chatgpt.com/share/698ce93b-b66c-800b-9e41-91ccab8ebae3 https://chatgpt.com/share/698ce93b-b66c-800b-9e41-91ccab8eba... The artist I was primarily thinking of when I wrote that comment was Chihuly, whose workshop is famously more like a factory than a studio.
