The Synthesizer - a blessing or a curse? (1983) [video]

This is an astonishing conversion, even in this obviously heavily edited form. The topic is ever present: at exactly the same time in 1983 artists/illustrators like Barbara Nessim https://blog.gingerbeardman.com/2023/11/09/early-computer-ar... were facing backlash and resistance for their use of computers as a new tool to do their work, an opinion which lasted for a decade until the early-mid 1990s. And here we are in the 2020s having the same discussion about machine learning/LLMs or "A.I." If you want to call it that. It's the relentless march of progress and people's resistance to change. Progress always seems to win.
