This reminds me a bit on AI art too. It's basically just taking all the bits out there and sort of combining them differently like the kaleidoscope. I think the thing that might help and apply is that no one really cares what it's made. It's the people and personalities and life behind the art, even if it's derivative, that make it meaningful.

I agree. Perspective adds value. Different angles and different takes on something are what keep conversations going. We're really not all that different from computers in the way we process inputs and outputs. I just think the steps in between are a little messier with humans, and that's the beautiful part.

yeah, really great thoughts Aidan!!

I agree that there may never be a fully original thought... this ties into my own studies on yogic philosophy (not to plug yoga here but...) in yoga we are all ONE consciousness-- perhaps individual egos, personalities and identities, but one consciousness nonetheless-- so it makes me think that all my ideas are everyone’s ideas and vice versa!!
