buddy, if i only read books, played games, and listened to music published before this decade, i would never run out of interesting and compelling works of art to feed my mind with. I don't *have* to buy anything you people make.

In a similar fashion to how we can still go watch "Low-fidelity" theatrical performances of, say, Romeo and Juliet, because our kids are acting in it.

We don't go to those performances because they were done quickly and with all the bells and whistles of "high fidelity" movies; we go to them because we know people are in the performances.

I still have an ever growing backlog of books, movies, and great bands that I never heard of before.

And if I hear someone new live and I like them, I’ll go buy their album. Never a need for slop.

So, yeah. I will never be playing anything AI-generated. I haven't even touched the Sega console library, and I could find 10,000 niche precision platformer games I've never opened "^^

The hero stands at the precipice of the world. Upon seeing it's breadth, it's glories, it's failures all running back to a single point in time the hero says, "This is enough."
