AI Doesn’t Know the Smell of Skin Burning from Hot Lights
But we remember those days.
The glow of tungsten, the smell of the stage warming up. On some older stages you still see the old Lekos warming up the Arctic Wilderness. Some of us even remember life before L.E.D., when wearing gloves wasn’t just to wrestle cables. You had to protect yourself from the seething bubbling of your skin. It taught you a sense of respect for the power of light. — AI will never understand that. It will never revel in its glory or be awestruck by its beauty. It never will have that sensory memory.. Only humans do. That’s why our work has a pulse. Cameras can be automated, but instincts and years of living with your tools will never be replaced
