Headcanon that Casey thinks that the FBI are stupid is because of Taggert and McSweeten.
It's occurred to me that Hardison's style of grifting is exactly what happens when you do it in a TTRPG. Going in with half a plan, appealing to the humanity of underappreciated NPCs, adapting on the fly to cover whatever the fuck the rogue is doing in the background. Pop-culture references that nobody else recognises strung together into a semblance of a character. Peacing out with no explanation once you got what you came for. What an icon.
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.
It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
