Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

When it comes to robocontent, I ironically react like a robot from westworld. I look at it, but it doesn't look like anything to me. It has no meaning. It's just noise, a page of static.
I suspect robocontent fetishists look at all art as static. They don't understand that there is intention behind art. They are fundamentally incompatible with human experience. They are disconnected and insensitive to the creative world, and that's just sad.
When you look at something made by a human, even if it doesn't seem to have any conscious intention behind it, it has multitudes of context encoded within. Think of the cerulean top scene from the devil wears prada.
Robocontent, generated from static, lacks all of that context. If I look at it and interpret it as meaningful, it is that act alone that gives it meaning, not anything done to create it in the first place.
