all llms that are sold to people as ai fundamentally go against the values of this project.

llm output is highly neutral and non-provoking, highly stretched, and often not very useful.
it is not concise. it is extremely soft, a warm blanket infused with numbing agent and acid, it trades simple complexity for a false comfort and dissolves thoughts rather than encouraging them.
this is the opposite of minimalist and expressive.

llm output also isnt very useful, both for the "artist" and everyone else. the "artist" does not get to have created something, does not get to have enjoyed the process, does not get to understand the result, or even just have had creative control. everyone else gets a usually worse, less understandable, more cloudy, less enjoyable Product.

the tudbut project is about digital craftsmanship, about making art, not making products.

beyond this: llms may look like tools, but they arent. you dont own them, you dont control them, you cant buy them, you cant make them.
