Humans In The Loop
But us humans, we’re scared too. Which makes us defensive and write think-pieces like "Will AI replace the artist? Wait dang it I wrote that one nvm.
The more we talk about how we are not AI, the more robotic we become.
"Trust us, we're human and here's why," we keep saying — that nobody can deny!
The truth hides in the subtext and makes me wonder,... See more
