Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.

Tim Burton films that totally should get a Criterion release now that Pee Wee's Big Adventure got the treatment. (Yeah Corpse Bride was the best I could think of since films like Beetlejuice, Mars Attacks!, Sleepy Hollow and Sweeney Todd may be more suitable for Arrow.)

Me in my teens: I like Hercules better than Emperor's New Groove.
Me as an adult: I mean Hercules is still fun with some good characters and a banger soundtrack but New Groove is a lot snappier and more consistent.
