("making things rather than, say, making critical observations about things other people have made. Those are ideas too, and sometimes valuable ones, but it's easy to trick oneself into believing they're more valuable than they are. Criticism seems sophisticated")

"thoughts by a billionaire. self-praising. spiritually enriching. sophisticated. 'high' value"

"thoughts by a commoner. critical. base. self-deluding juvenile hack work. 'low' value"

"thoughts by a billionaire about how critics are delusional and self-important. Sophisticated irony. philosophically challenging. 'high' value"

"suppose I say the author is giving himself a pass for the companies he funds?"

"sophomoric. intellectually sterile. 'low' value"

Reminds me of my own "ai art", The Marlboro Man riding a chrome blow up dog.
