Similes, metaphors and analogies are the worst things that ever happened to punk rock
Are we surprised the guy whose entire brand is “I don’t actually know how to do anything in the creative space” is saying this?

Raymond Chandler (1888-1959) made detective fiction into a literary form.
He worked hard on his throwaway remarks, keeping lists of sharp comparisons, similes and gags.
Many of them never made into his works, but if they did, he marked them and added the title of the novel in which he used them.

Jorge R. Gutierrez says animating with AI was like “having sex and then they hand you the baby” during his appearance at the AI on the Lot convention.
He currently has a project named ‘Punky Duck’ through Amazon MGM’s GenAI Creators’ Fund.

There's no one in charge at the U.S. Copyright Office right now
No One Is in Charge at the US Copyright Office

Hay un chaval en el bus (o lo que creo que es un chaval por la voz, porque no me puedo dar la vuelta) tratando de contarles por teléfono una aventura sexual a sus amigos pero, como está en público, usa símiles... pero son los PEORES SÍMILES POSIBLES.

Similes like this are so helpful; it seems really obvious when you say it out loud but there is a genuine perspective shift when you're emphatic that the point of your teaching is not to create 15 essays, but 15 students who can write an essay.
Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.
