What do you make of the use of email in the business world? You're right that quite a bit of that has turned into instant messaging as well, ie I text my boss instead of sending them mail but it definitely feels like that's going away a lot slower if not expanding

I'm curious, not bashing. What signs have you seen that lead you to believe email is dying?

Merteur? Martyr?

You really just wrote 4 paragraphs to say "I wanna make other people upset for my own personal gain at little to no benefit to the world at large"

Not sure when the last time you tried doing this is, but it's pretty easy these days. KDE connect can pretty much handle most of the HTPC necessities. Alternatively, a debloated Onn box will do the trick quite easily

Right? It would be so much cheaper if we just used to the reinforcing steel to create thin tracks which we could put much more thermally efficient and eco-friendly wheels onto. In turn, we could carry exceptionally large loads of cargo or people over vast distances for a mere fraction of the cost (monetary) and a fraction of the cost (to the world) by creating long, highly aerodynamic vehicles capable of moving at ridiculously high speeds that would be uncontrollable for the average joe on the road.

Wait, haven't I heard of something like this before?

I can't remember if this was said to me or if I overheard it. Maybe I'm fabricating the memory entirely, but in any case, I recall a conversation where someone said almost exactly what you did in that last sentence. The reply was of course

"Well someone always gets hurt."

"What do you mean?"

"It costs someone money to put those bathrooms in."

Cue the "what the fuck did I just hear" alarms

Honestly a lot of people just don't realize how easy it actually is. They think it's something arcane and strange

Mr. President, that man walked in here with a big blue box, and three of his friends. And, that's the man he walked past. One of them is worth listening to.

I'm suggesting that disrespecting an artists wishes causes them unnecessary struggles which in turn unnecessarily makes it more difficult for them to do their work.

Do you know what the word unfettered means?

Edit to add: Why are you arguing for disrespecting people's wishes?

I didn't say they needed respect to be creative. I said they needed respect to be creative unfettered.

So, to recap, your position is this:

Artists do not deserve the respect that would allow them to be creative unfettered. Gotcha.

Because humans suck?

That's actually a pebble, not a rock

I take it as flattery

I respect your position, and I appreciate people who are willing to share their creativity in an inspiring way like that.

However, others don't see it as flattery. Particularly in eastern cultures, it is seen as mockery or plagiarism. You can choose to disagree about why they don't want you to imitate their style, but you should always respect the request.

No. We're acting as if their opinion always mattered just as much as it does now.

While your style is not, can not, and should not be your intellectual property, you should have the right to say "I don't want you to imitate my exact style" and people should respect that.

Imitators have been doing that since always, long before LLMs

Fill me in a bit. Are you under the impression that artists are particularly okay with/enjoy people imitating their art style?

Those are the same buttons I saw.

The export attachments I assume is intended to export the files you would upload, like scanned in service records and whatnot. Obviously, the demo throws a "no records" error (or however they phrased it). Presumably, they didn't think about people wanting to test that feature and didn't bother to upload attachments, but you could upload an attachment and then export it to test methinks.

The reports, however is where you've confused me a bit. Mine defaults to exporting to PDF, which is definitely a meaningful format. You can convert it into anything

I get it.
