This is why I bought a teenage engineering op-1. Yes it’s overpriced, yes there are definitely better little desktop synths but I can whip this one out and just go wild without having to look at a (real) screen. Same reason I keep my Roland

The compiler example is very helpful, thanks for posting it. My follow up question is now “if junior doctors are exposed to AI through their training is doctor + AI still better overall?” e.g. do doctors need to train their ‘eye’ without us
