With AI there is an amount of laziness and acceptance of distortion that people do take on. With it being a fast amalgamation of the information it had access to it makes good first drafts for anyone willing to refine it.

The downside is that people are truly lazy, or rather lead by those who are more lazy than others, unwilling to put in effort and are rewarded for it. I had a sit down to think and postmodernism came to mind. I also considered how the faculties of our minds are being impacted by a tool to be ever more lazy from the disuse. If you take Maslow then you see the top of the hierarchy chopped off. My head hurt after a while and I went back to hobbying.

Craftsmanship takes time and effort. The “get whatever and call it good” ethos is a difference between the stuff on Putty and Paint versus your FLGS buddy who barely manages a primer coat on their models. The refinement of skill is what most people seem to not really give a damn about because the bar for functionality to achieve result is low. In a way I think that the Golden Buttons are a good way that our community stands against that. The fact we complain about it means we’re also a band of holdout counter to it.

Now, as the new Cool Kids Yet To Be Recognized let’s keep up the good work.

@zoidpinhead “Live naked!”and “Live what you love” comes to mind as a couple of thoughts which make me chuckle in connection with minis. The volume of figures you’re pushing out really is impressive. I’m having enough trouble to keep on the stuff that I say I want to paint.

@limburger Quality food thought going to quality beer (insert Homer Simpson “Mmm beer”) makes me a bit sad. It just means that some things you might need to make yourself. I’ll leave the beer alone, refine my mini painting and just drink someone else’s crafted goodness

@sundancer All the lessons of Munchkin are paying off. Do as you have learned.

@blinky465 I think that the sharing in Sundancer’s game will go as well as when Shay and Gerry showed off their Let’s Play for Thr Doomed.
