If the stick enables you carve more complex things in a cheaper way than the previous tool, then yes, the stick is special. Unless you’re suggesting that a pencil and the human finger are exactly the same?

This is quite literally the entire history of technology: what was once expensive becomes cheap and then unlocks new developments. Bizarre that I have to point this out when you’re likely reading this comment on a device made of commoditized components that cost a fraction of what they did a couple decades ago.

Yeah it does that, in 2-3 areas, those we need the least -- who cares it can replace artists? We need elder people care! We need automated logistics! And a tons of other things.

"It's just the beginning" yeah yeah, but it's not. It's actually the next AI plateau that the area will need a long time to move on from. Please do quote me on this, I am willing to apologize if I am wrong after 5-10 years.
