There is magic in telling computer do something and seeing it zap through it billions of times faster than by any other means.

That doesn't feel like magic to me, it feels like cheating. It feels miserable and demoralizing.

And then it feels like a chore slogging through whatever it produced to verify it is correct.

In a way it is cheating, as it is all built on countless copyright infringements and non-consensual use of other people's works.

Only that businesses have decided it is OK as long as they are benefitting to steal from everyone else, and basically force us to be the acting hand in all of it, or threaten us with starvation (no job, no income).
