All the software that had to be written has already been written.

The nature of software is inherently subject to the users' requirements. Since the users' subjective circumstance changes over time, the application software should also be updated to match the changing requirements.

You need to elaborate on that. How do you define software and if two programs get the same result but use different algos, are they same or different. Also if I

There is no system but GNU, and Linux is one of its kernels.

Counterexample: SchemeBBS runs on FreeBSD without the GNU/Linux bloat.

software is just replacing human cognition with inferior forms that do it faster

generative ai appeared right as aphantasia became a thing

like, human imagination is dying out to be replaced with n-fingered monstrosities and llms

Eh, AI art is really good for as cheap as it is. I think we will look back on it some day with a rose tinted nostalgia, like how we view pixel art from old retro arcade games.

It sure beats working with a real artist for your DIY visual art needs. Most artists worth their salt shoot way way too high for good work to be affordable, and even beer money semi-volunteers from the college art department are insufferable to work with, too hot to trot.

I think for all the suckage of AI generate gobbledygook, it really is empowering for regular people who need relevant media. I don't know what the future holds though. Will it get good enough to become ambiguous? Will new forms of advertising as entertainment become remarkable? Can we open new arenas of expression somewhere in between machine-soul and men's dreams? Only time can tell, but I am hopeful for the future.

Ubiquitous, not ambivalent. Gosh.
