Completely agree. I thought this was going to be some underwhelming nonsense, but that is legit impressive and something even a non-artist could benefit from.

Arguably non-artists benefit the most. This is a time saver for skilled artists but a whole new ability unlock for the unskilled ones.

I was going to write how this would be cool in a kids drawing app but the thought that they might never feel the need to draw something from a different angle. I wonder what other activities have been lost to time and technology.

> what other activities have been lost to time and technology

- flintknapping

- the distaff activities: carding, spinning, weaving, etc.

- "teamster" as a very highly skilled occupation

Socrates was against the invention of writing because it meant people lost the skill to memorize and recite

Why might a kid not want to draw something from a different angle? In my introduction to drawing course I was asked to draw my non-dominant hand every day for a week, each time from a slightly different angle.

Depends on whether the kid wants to learn to draw, or just wants to create drawings.

I'd love to see what this tool does with bad drawings, heh.

It really has been destructive. He anticipated the day in which you could change people's memories by editing the internet.

Because instead of doing that, they could have the computer rotate their drawing to a new angle.
