Opened this link to quote that. The level of reasoning is "trust me bro". Even if some things must be simplified for uneducated reader, the quote from above should be embarassing for author to write

I would like to see chat logs etc and understand how much of a progress was done by human.
I appreciate .kkrieger much more than this monstrosity

And I was recently thinking about books that my opinion has significantly changed about the longer I’m in my career, I realized that “Peopleware” truly sucks. It is such feel good fairy tale, that actually harms the reader. The real world is much different and much more cynical.
I’m sure that well designed kickback scheme is hiding somewhere here.
Honestly, I hate defending multimillionaire and get that to climb that fast at those companies anybody needs to be, most likely, ruthless corporate warrior. But you just throw claims and sound like a baseless hater.
If a director during montage or review will say: “that shot will be better if camera was 2 feet higher, we need to reshoot” or “that extra takes too much attention from main character, can we remove it digitally”, and the author will prompt the same to ai, for their generated videos (that I’m quite sure will be enabled in next years) - this is the same art. creative process is constrained by available tools, but they don’t define it.
Do you think that people posed for medieval family paintings at the same time?
I see your reasoning a lot in many areas, and in my pov it’s just a final, conceding attempt of gatekeeping.
Painters telling photographers that there is no soul in photography. Film photographers telling the same to digital photographers. Woodworkers telling that cnc’s are not woodworking. Musicians telling that only live music matters and recording doesn’t capture all nuances 100 years ago. Guitarists owning and used hundreds of pedals and amps telling that to digital modeling.
Look into photo editing where ai based tools can remove subjects, do generative fills and even transform 2d to 3d/video. Same will come to other ai art too. And this will again differentiate amateurs “prompt 3 lines” and pros “I have vision and I will pursue it using tools available to me”. AI is secondary here.
As I said before - ai helps to raise the floor, not ceiling.
Unfortunately it doesn’t apply to everybody :( Babylon 5 was mind blowing when I was a kid, and today the space and other sci fi parts from there, when I see them on YouTube, are quite cringe. Show is still great, but that’s the part where I’d be totally fine if some modern consistent ai re-rendered cgi to something more pleasant.
If it was a vscode addon I could try it.
