Can we drop the auteur hero worship for a bit and recognize that every Metal Gear game had hundreds of employees working on it? I just really don't like this culture of acting like one godlike man makes games in a cave himself like Tony Stark.

I think most people would be okay with CEOs making 50% more than them. Maybe even 2x more than them. Maybe even 20 times. That's pretty crazy, for someone to make 20x what you do every hour of every day.
But 344x? Nobody would ever think that's fair. Its not.
CEOs were paid, on average, about 21 times as much as a typical worker in 1965
today, they’re compensated over 344 times as much - over 1000% more than they used to be
they take over 1000% more than was formerly normal and acceptable to the average worker
sit with that

Missing the point.
Yes, force is what kills.
The force at time of impact is not a direct function of the engine output. Its the momentum of the car.
Even a car with a "slow" engine can gradually accelerate to a high top speed, resulting in massive momentum, meaning force. See?

Real simple counter-argument. If writing a prompt does mean you created art, then does patronizing art mean you created art? If I pay someone $200 to paint a monkey, did I just paint a monkey? If prompting an AI counts, then this must also count.
But that's obviously absurd.
So, if the person generating an AI image supposedly isn’t its creator as many Ai art critics claim, what about pendulum art? or many other artforms that utilize automatic processes where the creator set’s up certain prompts and guides but does nothing during the actual formation
