AI just may be the death of writing and art. Youtube is already about 70% AI, made in seconds by typing one sentence into the AI generator.
Writing is even easier.
Just input a vauge idea, and the generator will pump out a 4000 word essay in 1.5 seconds.
As for the pipe collecting and tobacco cellar.....I can relate.
Im ok with the cellar, it will eventually work itself out. Either from the lack of funding, state laws, or excessive smoking, my cellar will fluctuate in depth and width.
The pipes though...this is a problem.
I keep seeing pipes I want, and then I buy them. Unlike tobacco which gets better with age, but eventually gets smoked and no longer exists.....pipes get better with age, and keep on puffing.
I AM going to thin the herd...not today....but someday.
I have 80+ pipes that I haven't smoked sinse Clinton was in office!!
Most I will give away. Many need serious attention and some need a total overhaul.
Maybe tomorrow......
