We are missing a key point in the whole discourse around “well if AI can do it better and it’s easy, just let it do it for us”. The whole point of any creative endeavour is the doing itself; it’s the attempt. The struggle itself in the trying is what life (and creation) is all about. Forget results.

RIP Olivia Hussey (1951-2024), known to many as Juliet in the 1968 Zeffirelli film. Born in Buenos Aires and the daughter of opera singer Osvaldo Ribó, you can hear the Spanish inflection in some of her words through her British accent. #RomeoandJuliet #ShakespeareSunday #Shakespeare
