AI is as good at writing software as it is in creating competent visual art. It's only amazing in terms of how much more a novice can do. It doesn't mean what they create is interesting in more than a gee-wiz way, and the novelty fades pretty quickly I've found.

Ogwumike was her usual self—mellow, introspective—and she knew this was a night for her to do all the talking. Diggins was pissed. “For Skylar, do you feel like you guys…” one reporter began, before quickly changing course. “Or Nneka,” he offered, as his initial target’s frown deepened. When the press conference ended, Diggins left having not said a word for all four minutes, her arms still crossed as she got up from the table and exited the room.
