"Prompt Engineers" swear they are doing something b/c they had A Thought. But you fools. You bores. You absolute fucking turnips.
The Art isn't the Thought, the Idea. The Art is The Work.
And this isn't some art hoe bullshit, this is about craft.

But in art it very much often is the idea. Putting a toiket on display isn't work - it's an idea. And it very much is art.
And the latter group don't get to dictate to the former what art is.
Perfect description. I'll be mumbling this to myself in awe for some time to come.
But baby, ideas don't mean shit.
Ideas are a dime a fucking dozen. You can buy books of them for that rate.
It is how YOU make the thing. It is your style, your voice that brings the idea to life that matters. That's the thing that make it yours and worthwhile.
Once you have skill down, your Voice is the thing that you build, the thing that makes you Good.
What could I possibly add to any of it?
So your thoughts today were helpful.
But you.
You are new. You are the first time the world has seen you.
I once based an award-winning novel on the idea that the Biggest Billy Goat Gruff would be the natural archenemy of chupacabras.
That's unique. Wonderful. It could be beautiful or devastating or both and it is yours.
It's how you make it yours.
How you turn A Thought into something that means something.
It won't.
And you won't be an Artist.
If you want to be an Artist, you have to do The Work.
The Work is what matters. Even if no one else is looking, The Work is what matters. Ideas are shit.
And if you don't want to do The Work, what the fuck is the point?
Authenticity is the only bridge to the consciousness of another.
