If you want to make something real, use whatever process feels right to you: find amazing collaborators or chart your own path; use that ML auto-masking tool or do it by hand.
But *don't* make it easy. Don't take every shortcut. Don't optimize away all the illuminating complexity.
Be frictional.

The classic refrain is: constraint is the mother of creativity. Similarly, friction is the father of discovery.
It feels paradoxical when we're conditioned to obsess over efficiency. But the only perfect efficiency is doing nothing.
A ship in the harbor is safe, but that's not what it's built for.
