Pretending

The Oatmeal talking about AI art.

As a kid, I had one of those little Casio keyboards where you could hit a button and it’d automatically play a song.

I remember hitting the button.

I remember standing there, pretending to make music.

That’s how I see Al art.

Standing there.

Pretending.

Pretending. This resonated with me. At times I have had this feeling whenever I used AI. While generating proposals. While generating code. While generating ideas. It seems I am pretending to work.

So is the future of work that we all pretend to work?
