Quiet..animate with an exposure sheet. May be a bit formidable in movie trivia.
^ But inevitably, this is a negative post, and so something human and flawed will probably get criticized in the short term or the job market..
I won't pretend to be able to create THAT below..but I also won't pretend to believe that Alex Ross couldn't either.
No need to defend Skynet.

^ And the thing is, it absolutely can be true that whatever you draw/paint/whatever won't live to the artificial expectations of a workstation that is likely Xeroxxing a gallery.
But flipping the script, you might end up with something only YOU can make, and then you don't have to defend bots.

^ And so the immediate effect is something like "I can't draw anything that looks like the image I wrote into existence."
And so my response would be "prove to me that you can't."
Go to an art store, meet the receptionist, ask what kits they recommend, and spend time.

^ There are things that I could learn to do but haven't commited the time to. There are also limits in certain fields..I don't have the wrist for cursive..
But at least The Flat Earth Society has a human element, even if they end up inventing devices that prove the Earth is round.

^ And so I think the defending of A I replicated assets when there are so many ways that most people could create on their own accord, is like not learning how to read, tearing out the illustrations, and calling oneself "Bookistrators."

..It always boggles me that some schools feel like they have to show Birth or Triumph, or maybe Birth AND Triumph, and maybe the answer is "none of the above."

I feel like everyone overlooks the breathing apparatus'..
I think Jurassic Park made definitive movie dinosaurs, but there are great examples of strong-model work throughout film history and I believe they are very expressive in their own right, or moreso than the "World' franchise.

^ Like, the 40 foot ramp, like the expectation isn't that the average Academic could try skateboard tricks, but very few lives would be ruined by this not being an ability.
And I will leave this with that.

^ I probably wouldn't ask a math professor if they could go up a 40 foot ramp on a skateboard, but I think that maybe the world itself doesn't wig out if a math professor couldn't shred alongside Tony Hawk.

And maybe this is it. The reason I use divine type language isn't to snub your personal belief, as much to say that arithmetic is treated as a stringent religious icon, and perhaps the people who can do many things besides math are thought of as slipping through the cracks.

^ So as the bat flies, the ever consistent change of the diety is greeted with open arms.
"I created a math equation that is seven inches high!"
So to me all that amounts to, the diety is mine, but I cannot control it, but I successfully added to it.
You get where I'm going? (more)

So then the huddled masses are good at changing the diety, know the process of changing the diety, and of course the sense of longing is combined with the sense of anger.

^ So the thing is that the rules aren't made by them, but rather their great-grandparents or whatever. So the rules value more than the change of the diety, but ALSO the diety must change.
