You can just say it

I can across a short and direct post from Caleb Gross on the value of humans and what it means to create. It's worth the read but I wanted pull a quote that I liked on intent and form in regards to creation:

Creation is the distillation of intent into form. Intent is usually inseparably embedded into the form of the artifact. A human iteratively (sometimes painstakingly) shapes and reshapes their creation until it sufficiently matches what’s in their mind’s eye. The odd thing about generative AI is that it can produce substantial form with minimally applied intent.
