michelangelo with a paint gun

Give Michelangelo a paint gun and you still get Michelangelo. Give everyone else one and you get a wall covered in spray.

AI is a paint gun. It covers ground fast, and in the right hands that changes a lot: someone with taste and years of craft can do in an afternoon what used to take months.

Most of what comes out of it is spray, though. Slop. Endless, even, forgettable coats of content. Speed was never the hard part. Knowing where to put the paint was.
