Let’s talk about AI art.
@oatmeal Loved it. Pairs well with your this-is-how-projects-actually-come-together frame from "Erasers are wonderful" https://theoatmeal.com/comics/creativity_erasers I bet those who sell or buy into AI tools don't know the power of erasers, since they want to go from plan to finish without the very detours (and optional suffering) that make the journey worthwhile and that give the end result a soul. 💌
Occasionally, I remember the fact that in the 25 years I’ve been doing web dev, I’ve never even gotten so much as a single email from a recruiter, and I honestly don’t know if that’s unusual or not.

@fdroidorg @don_atoms @marcprux I was afraid, it would be like that :-)... But somebody is trying, and that makes me happy.

Excellent analysis. This reminds me very much of my early days as a communications professional, specialising in small business needs.
At the time, technological limitations (anf the skillsets needed to use professional-level prepress tools) meant that generally, most clients recognised the need for professional help with layout, design, and so forth.
But the *copy* (text) of whatever was needed? Clients overwhelmingly insisted they could write and would want to provide that content -- despite it generally being terrible for the intended use.
It took me a long time to figure out that many of them considered writing merely to be a functional thing that they already spent 12 years in school doing, so they 'must' already be experts.
There was zero understanding that graduating grade 12 is not the same as knowing, practising and developing the conventions, skills and techniques specific to writing for different genres and audiences, or in this case, target markets.
😐
@cassidy it was something else
