alt Hacker NewsJust to be explicit, and correct me if I’m wrong in my understanding, but your argument was:
1. Prompting is not creation.
2. Therefore prompting cannot lead to joy.
For this argument to work, you’re implicitly also claiming that
1.5 Only activities that involve creation can lead to joy.
My counterexamples (if you agree with them, but you say you do) show that this latter statement is not true.
So if you’d like to show that “prompting cannot lead to joy”, you need to fix up your proof. I’m not claiming that you’re wrong! But the reasoning gave cannot possibly be correct.
Ok let's try to argue you said
> Have you ever felt joy watching a sunset? Smelling a flower? Hearing a song? Seeing a child laugh? Did you create any of those things?
What has to do with prompting? you don't prompt for experiences like that, we are lucky that we live in a world full of authentic unexpected experiences. WTH has to do with prompting.
> 1.5 Only activities that involve creation can lead to joy.
Exactly, joy and meaning, like basically ALL psychiatrist and what not they're telling us since the start of the 21st century.
If you happen to like something that got out of a prompt, then imo you're a mediocre who doesn't know better, the same that listen to shit music, movies, games and what not. The same miserable mediocre that doom scrolls social, ingest fake news, propaganda and ai slop and doesn't know better.
I'm not saying mediocre as derogatory term to the person it's just what it is.
