That’s a fair point in general, and a good reminder.
But a person using AI is telling me they don’t value their own mind to the point they rather outsource it to a dumb prediction machine, so why exactly am I supposed to entertain their commentary?

Why do you believe this is so?
Most creative work is taking what we think of (an idea or thought) and putting it into action, a movie is just a more elaborate version of a story which we have been telling each other since the beginning of time
If I tell Veo3 a story and it brings the story to life with visuals and audio where have I not valued my own mind?
This feels like elitism: I had to learn a whole craft (singing/song writing/instrument etc) to bring my idea to life, you didn’t use a fancy camera with fancy video editing software, you just told a computer what you’d like to see or hear, how dare you!
The reason why the original hot take is bad is because it is simply referencing all the most obvious limitations of LLM’s at the time (problems with fingers, over explaining answers)
This would be like in 1995 saying smartphones?? like tiny computers that fit in your pocket? Wow that’ll be so shit! Oh great so now my wrist watch computer takes 5 minutes to boot up so I can check the time? and then it’ll probably blue screen of death! I bet I’ll get a virus then have to run a virus scan on it ughhhhhh
