Computers can now write poetry and paint pictures—something human writers and artists used to do. A comment on Twitter by Karl Sharro on May 15, 2023, received over 127,300 likes:
“Humans doing the hard jobs on minimum wage while the robots write poetry and paint is not the future I wanted.”
The saying has been printed on several images.
