And I believe the HN user who created this is @kickingkeys
fascinating space to explore:
Instead of having AI directly generate an output, what happens if we ask AI to take a stab at the PROCESS of creating something.

How does Opus actually paint? Thought it only generated text…
It generate commands and coordinates to move the mouse and use the paint tools.
Now combine this with a robot able to move a paint brush and mix on a palette, and you could make some pretty awesome real-paint artwork
