The moving walkways in some airports, for example, have multiple moving sections and work just fine.

I imagine if you compared the number of injuries to the distance travelled, or even trips taken, cars would come out way ahead.

er... I'm pretty pro-ev, but I don't think you can reasonably generalize feeling so put-upon by the non-financial aspects of getting gas.

For the same reason people who steal credit card numbers sell them rather than use them, why illegal drug distributors don't sell to users directly, and mob bosses don't rob people: They can probably do the same thing at the same

Yeah, I love Davinci. Usually when I'm doing sound editing, it's for a pretty different focus, and I've been using Audition since it was Cool Edit Pro in the 90s. I've got a license for Ableton that I'll probably en

> I did not. You're responding to different people. My mistake. I know exactly how much overlap there is. I was a full-time developer— mostly back-end web developer but not exclusively— for 10 years before I took the 60 old credits

To be clear: I didn't say that you don't know anything about design— I said that I've never seen a direct generative AI to production workflow that yielded acceptable professional-level results, and any time I've seen

And? Control nets offer a fraction of the precision and specificity that professionals graphics tools do.

Care to share a workflow? No doubt I've seen people make shitty assets more quickly, but nothing I'd consider useful for any of my purposes. Besides, the hard part of design is figuring out the best way to solve design problems vi

As someone who works in the space and uses these tools, I've not seen any output without significant manual modification that was production quality, and I've only heard developers or non-designer AI-enthusiasts say otherwise. I

I've written tons of docs in my day-- user-facing, developer facing, in between... It's much more difficult to write docs than people imagine, especially when they're merely making up for a poorly organized interface or user

Indeed, you can make an icon system with gen AI, but you can't make a good one. It generally sucks at consistency and fine details-- two of the most important factors when designing a visual language for an interface. Ultimately, Gen

Yeah— it's obviously worth interrogating how our environments affect our cancer risk, but considering that the disease was named by Hippocrates in the 300s BCE, it seems pretty unlikely that any single avoidable environmental factor co

Assuming these sorts of things about your users' intent causes big usability problems. Trying to predict how users will use search usually ends up more frustrating than not for many people. Most people who use these tools don't ha

While the overall point holds true, some of the complaints don't make sense. Searching "rice" for example will probably get you parboiled white rice, instant red beans and rice, chicken and rice canned soup, and rice pudding—

I'm a professional designer. You're conflating learning design with learning a tool. Learning to use the tools is the easy part. Learning the fundamentals of design is often still taught in schools with pencils, paper, paint, coll

From Bard: My situation is a bit unique, so the term "manufacturer" might not be the most accurate way to describe who created me. Here's a breakdown of what you need to know: Developed by Google AI: I was created by a
