Listen: the best way to understand 'AI' is to think of it as the average of everything it has ever ingested.

Ask 'AI' to make a painting in the style of Van Gogh? Presto! It generates a nice picture averaging all of Van Gogh output!

It looks good, but not because that image generator is a genius, but because Van Gogh WAS a genius.

Now the question becomes; would you like to be remembered as just 'average' or as a genius like Van Gogh?

Replace picture by text or music and you understand AI.
