You spent a lot of time deconstructing something I never said or implied. The keyword you missed is "style". Your word, that I quoted. As in, "the style of that artist". I wasn't referring to individual pieces of or

You claim "all digital art is worthless because it can all be tweaked into existence in under a minute". If that were true, I could show you any piece of digital art, be it 2D or 3D rendered, and you should have no trouble making

I think it's because people care about fixing broken things in the world. There's no mystery here. We want to know what's broken in order to discuss and debate solutions. If there's perception of injustice or bad practic

I wonder how much of this is about VR not doing so well? Huge investment but not a lot of excitement (yet). Maybe they'll pull something out of the hat, combining slick new VR with AI, with live real-time movie making, or something. Ei

Depends. The code I was pasting is public anyway (website javascript), so quite harmless for this purpose. It contained some paths in the code that would identify where it came from, which I removed.

You're implying "SaaS" means subscription only, and the opposite of SaaS is "pay once". But there's various pricing models available. Usage-based pricing for example. Feature-based, or a combo of different ways

On the other hand, they're subscription only. It used to be better, back in Construct 2 days, sensible flexible pricing. Then they changed it to browser based, subscription only, Chrome only. The whole thing becomes read-only the momen

I said something similar about it not being able to roast a chicken. Now I feel annoyed by my lack of originality! While it's lightweight, I'm glad someone is trying to make AI with attitude. "Roasting" can get surprisin

Without your '/s' I'd be lost in the rough seas of your intended meaning. Feeling the need to copy a list of words is not the same as feeling the need to be inclusive. Besides, using those words and phrases isn't of

I'd ignore advice from Apple or Big Tech about how to use words. They are not language experts. They are not content experts. They are infected with the same over-sensitive "inclusivity" reaction that has spread far and wide
