No kid, you can't eat toys. Spit it out. Grow up. Understand what you need for you as a human.

I don't understand the point you're trying to make.

Are you trying to argue that this technology will have no impact on the world around us, because its a "toy"? That's clearly, already not true. I have a software engineering friend who exclusively programs with an AI assistant now. He says when he's programming "offline" it feels like a limb is cut off. There's plenty of stories floating around already of people using stable diffusion (and friends) so they don't have to hire artists.

> It dances too!! Oh, it sings too!!!

2 more generations down the line it'll probably be better than most humans at most things humans do. It'll program better than most programmers. It'll drive better than most drivers. It'll do your taxes better than most accountants. It'll architect buildings better than most architects. No mere toy can do that.

I could be wrong, but the next few decades will probably be wild.
