Ah - true true - OTOH, many of my artist (and former) friends absolutely hate AI prompted "art" and post much commentary to that effect. Myself I find it very useful because I have no ability to create art/images on my own -

Yeah - technical people in general - it was a great introduction to following instructions and creativity all-in-one. (I would build every kit first with the instructions, then tear them apart and put the bricks in the "big" (act

Oh wow - I didn't realize that ICON was based on this - I remember it was quite advanced in comparison to the generic PC computers at the time. With one exception - you could crash other ICON systems or the overall network just via mac
