What are you the lawyer of the prev poster? Anyway I can rule out what it isn't, you're not creating anything what it isn't then? how can it be joy?
You may or may not be right about whether prompting is creation, but it is certainly possible to feel joy without any act of creation being involved. So you need a different argument if you’d like to prove that “making Commodore games using prompting cannot lead to joy.”
yes and has nothing to do with prompting congratulations
I'll remind you again: it's none of your business what gives people joy.
1. Prompting is not creation.
2. Therefore prompting cannot lead to joy.
For this argument to work, you’re implicitly also claiming that
1.5 Only activities that involve creation can lead to joy.
My counterexamples (if you agree with them, but you say you do) show that this latter statement is not true.
So if you’d like to show that “prompting cannot lead to joy”, you need to fix up your proof. I’m not claiming that you’re wrong! But the reasoning gave cannot possibly be correct.
> Have you ever felt joy watching a sunset? Smelling a flower? Hearing a song? Seeing a child laugh? Did you create any of those things?
What has to do with prompting? you don't prompt for experiences like that, we are lucky that we live in a world full of authentic unexpected experiences. WTH has to do with prompting.
> 1.5 Only activities that involve creation can lead to joy.
Exactly, joy and meaning, like basically ALL psychiatrist and what not they're telling us since the start of the 21st century.
If you happen to like something that got out of a prompt, then imo you're a mediocre who doesn't know better, the same that listen to shit music, movies, games and what not. The same miserable mediocre that doom scrolls social, ingest fake news, propaganda and ai slop and doesn't know better.
I'm not saying mediocre as derogatory term to the person it's just what it is.
“Only activities that involve creation can lead to joy.”
But you also agree that “watching a sunset can lead to joy”.
Presumably you agree that you did not create the sunset.
Now we’ve found a contradiction: an activity (watching sunset) that leads to joy but that didn’t involve any creation.
This has nothing to do with prompting. It’s just a rebuttal of the _proof_ that you used in order to support your statement that “prompting cannot possibly lead to joy”. The argument you gave was “because prompting does not involve creation.”
I have exhibited a counterexample to the argument you gave. Any counterexample immediately shows that the argument was wrong. Therefore your argument was wrong. Your conclusion might still be right, but we can all be sure, on the basis of this counterexample, that the argument you gave to prove your conclusion was wrong.
