The passing of The Cure's Perry Bamonte reminded me of this quote from Robert Smith:
‘I wear lipstick, I’m 65. I’m not the person to stand up to say what’s wrong with the world’
I can't think of anyone better to ask.

Another tell: AI “writers” don’t like writing. AI “artists” don’t like making art.
