you're right tho
i have seen the error of my ways
however, the servers for paint.net are also housed in datacenters

# It doesn't all have the same footprint.
When I make something I tend to make 1 of it, the way I want it.
I don't make multiple variations of what might be interpreted by the words I used to describe the idea, cross referenced with multiple yottabytes of stolen training data, heating up the planet and cooling doomed electronics with forever-chemical-tainted fresh water, burning tonnes of fossil fuels in the process, in order to settle on the least shit, least generic misinterpretation of whatever fleeting fancy happens to be in my brain at the time.

# If they could make a compact, solar powered, closed cycle cooled system datacentre to work in space, they could do it on Earth for considerably less money.
They don't because they can't.
There are several good reasons not to put datacentres in space apart from the cost and unfeasible engineering problems.
There are several good reasons not to allow the construction of datacentres on Earth, too.
Best case scenario: when the AI bubble bursts a lot of them (especially the perpetually unfinished ones) could be quickly converted into industrial scale greenhouses.

# TIL
that a puerile digital artist is the equivalent of an electronic or mechanical device for making mathematical computations, nothing has intrinsic value, and believing otherwise is pretentious false vanity.

# I'm not comparing the artist to a calculator
are you stoned
(, Sat 25 Jul 2026, 19:03, archived)
# You are saying that using a calculator is as good as developing mental maths skills
and equating that to using an AI prompt instead of developing manual artistic skills, and characterising opposition to the idea as pomposity.

Therefore the human computer is of equivalent value to the mechanical/electronic calculator and the AI prompt output is of equivalent value to the work of the skilled artist. The correct solution to the mathematical or artistic problem is the same if you do it manually or if you employ a machine to do it mechanically.

If you're making a different argument please say so and spell out exactly what it is.

# the point in posting the article was to show that people always resist new tools out of fear
has mathematical ability been reduced by the introduction of calculators?
most certainly it has

that's all

# So... Not even as good an argument as I gave you credit for. Okay.
You've reduced your argument to nothing. AI is nothing like a pocket calculator. See the environmental impacts of AI datacentre, the economic impact of hording GPUs, and the impact of the inevitable bursting of the AI bubble.

If there was a calculator bubble, history does not remember it on the same scale as tulips, railways, dot-coms or sub-primes.
