      I think magicians love when audiences are willing to both believe in magic and maintain a respect for the secrecy of their trade.

      I’ll tell you what I know for sure: people from my generation are working like their lives depend on it to separate the new generations from their money using our triumphant new invention; so of course this looks like impressive art to younger people and no one else; you’ll love the AI music we sell you too! And wait till you meet all the AI characters we’ve trained for you! You can sit, jaw dropped stifling laughter to hear the next joke designed to make you cackle so hard you piss yourself, in a room full of tailored friends.

      There are still tons of real things in this world: they still inspire more fruitful wonder than we do for ourselves and our contraptions.
