    I think it’s like making a cake using box mix. Of course home made is infinitly better but at least you still have a cake at the end of it.

    Maybe this soulless AI cat guy will have some human spirit put into them when the creator puts them into a really personal digital puppet show that allows them to express themselves through writing and storytelling as opposed to 3D modeling.

      Scienficially anyways, boxed cake will almost always be better than scratch.

      Its more like Steamed Hams. You pass off garbage as your own creation, and your house burns down in the process. No one gains anything of value except you get a +1 to social standing with the person you lied to for no reason.

        Maybe if you’re making the exact same type of cake. To me, boxed cakes always taste way too sweet, and I think it’s strange that tyere are no fruit chunks in them instead of powdered fruit.

      Fair enough I guess.

      That being said, I am still Team ‘Lasts spend half a day making a cheese cake’ vs box cake. But I’m not going to ask others to follow my lead. (I am also just air frying tenders for dinner, so I’m also lazy at times)

      I’ve used it for simple tasks for coding because ultimately I’m not a coder and don’t really want to be but I needed something scripted and no real humans were interested in helping.

      Writing code is openly torturous and I would really really rather not.
