    It's a manufacturing technique that is helpful for prototyping and makes sense some types of small scale manufacturing. But it's not magical, and not much different to injection mo…

    Everyone is capable of creating art. We're not objectively deciding what is art and what isn't, up front. Who decides what counts? Who's to say an AI generated self-published vomit…
