"I thought using loops was cheating, so I programmed my own using samples. I thought using samples was cheating, so I recorded real drums. I thought that was cheating, so I learned to play. I thought using purchased drums was cheating, so I made my own. I thought using pre-made skins was cheating, so I killed a goat and skinned it. I thought that was cheating too, so I raised my own goats from birth. I haven't made any music lately, what with the goat farming and all."

But are you doing real food preparation unless you are hunting and dressing the animals and foraging for your own food?
reply
Yes. You are doing any of the work yourself rather than instructing someone else on how to do it.

You are doing something, but 99% of the work has been done for you. I guess it's like vibe coding and telling the model to fix issues when you see them.

Ah geeze. I am utterly destroyed by this comment. Will need to sit and think now.
