i think people who have a hard on for Ai truly cannot understand that some people are just talented in the arts and have worked hard to become better at their craft. saying this to the creator of one of the best shows ever written is insane.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I think English graduates even tend to make quite good money. Not entry level, but later on. Because critical thinking and original solutions to problem solving you learn from a degree without a prescribed career are actually quite useful.

Rhys as Stede Bonnet in the 1x05 fancy party costume (sans coat) sitting on a red and gold throne with his legs crossed saucily. He absolutely knows what he is doing and he offers no mercy.
