Why should we care about the tools they use? Results are important.

[-] Larry@lemmy.zip 71 points 5 days ago

Because that tool was built by committing the largest IP theft in history. Not to mention the loss of jobs, the waste of water, waste of energy, spiking hardware prices, potential to dumb down all future generations.

But yeah, just a tool, same as wrench...

IP theft

People learn in the same way

the waste of water, waste of energy,

People consume that too. Even while not working.

dumb down all future generations

Human specialists also let other people stop being specialists. When did specialisation become the norm? In the early paleolith? Earlier?

People consume that too. Even while not working.

That's not a waste, though. I'd want them around even they weren't working.

Along with the other comment, it's also soulless. Not that the postal series had much in the way of artistry to begin with, even that series is still more artistic than anything generated by a program.

soulless

I am an engineer, not a priest. I don't understand this terminology.

[-] ech@lemmy.ca 43 points 5 days ago

I don’t understand this

That much is abundantly clear.

Our degrees didn't rob us of the ability to understand metaphor - that's just you.

I do not believe that you think results are the only thing that matter, methods be damned. I think you do have a line you would draw somewhere. The rest of us simply draw ours in a different place than you do.
