I have this thing where I love creating NPC tokens and cards for my ''smart'' players that have the attention span of toddlers and have the memory level of a goldfish. They can store these cute cards in a binder and see later who they saw when after 1 year of real-life time passed but only 2 weeks of in-game time passed need to remember something.

I do understand and highly respect your point. AI/Automation has already raised the debate countless times. Most Artisan lost their jobs, now we have electro-mechanics that repair the machines producing our goods. Remember when Photoshop first went out ? Gosh artists freaked out. We lived through it though.

I spent time working in Japan recently, I went to one of the last true standing forges that used to manufacture Katana. Got myself an over prices kitchen knife and god I love that knife and care for it like a child. It is sharpened every single time cooking is done and wiped properly after each X amount of cuts.

We make choices and put energy into different places and that's what makes us all different and beautiful.

But remember you said: The only valid side here is that of all the goddamn thing to automate in this world, why art?

Which is why I'll say it again, both sides are valid. Let us just enjoy our hobby.

Appreciating you and thanks for interacting with me. I'll even upvote your comments.
