10. You can just say it (noperator.dev)
There is a weird collection of arguments for appraising the value of humans and their creative artifacts.
It usually goes something like this: In the age of AI, we should still prefer humans in certain roles because AI could never perform the tasks required for that role.
Or, a human can at least do it better.
Or, perhaps the output from a human and AI may look similar, but human output is preferable for subtle stylistic reasons that an AI cannot reproduce.
Or, at least the AI cannot reproduce it consistently.

This research served as the starting point for the ten basic types of clouds we ob
