you cannot convince me that we as a human species, who carved art on cave walls between hunts, who penned poems during war, that made anything and everything from the photos we take to the buildings we make into art forms, would rather have AI make our art for us. you just can't

Look. I've said it before and I'll say it again. If Harry has a problem with his family then he needs to persuade the French to fund him, raise an army, invade and seize the crown.

No immigrant has taken your job. You were laid off by a capitalist who required cheap labor and took advantage of that immigrant to increase his profits, and nothing makes him happier than to hear you blame the immigrant and not him.
