    You know, it's actually astonishing that we have this thread and the other AI (Midjourney/Dall-e/ChatGPT) threads on QBN at all.

    I'm pretty much more than a few of us remember coming on NT/QBN waaaaaaaay back when and, for example, asking for help on AS1/AS2.

    In those days, HTML3 was the hot shit. We were still trying to wrap our heads around CSS2. Some were still installing PS from diskettes. Flash was making the web pretty, fun, and jaw-dropping, while Jakob Nielsen was having usability temper tantrums.

    Barely 20 years later, many are fearing for their creative jobs because of AI.

    It really all happened far too fast.
