    I love this for several reasons:

    1. LLMs building tools that can be run by either LLMs or humans are a great idea

    2. Generative art sometimes feels like "art by machine" but humans create art and logos in very similar ways e.g. start with "the rules" and then use that to create the art

    Also, someone generally pops up in these discussions about "how this is not being creative" etc. To that I point people to the Everything Is A Remix series:

      I was just going to say how nice it is to see the work of an actual person.

      This work isn’t generated, as the author commented in the thread
