Today’s software can indeed only do rough work. : This is something I will try to change in the future. I hope the software can do more detailed work. : However, due to limited programming skills, this ambitious goal has not been realized. : Another thing that always puzzles me is : Quite a few people say that software cannot replace creation. I also hold this view. : But at the same time, quite a few people are worried that the intelligent development of software will bury the art of asciiart. : He even has a negative attitude toward me continuing to develop programs like bmp2ascii and bmp2line. : It makes me at a loss. It seems that writing conversion software is hindering the development of asciiart. : Fortunately, there is neither time nor program thinking, so there is no need to worry about this for the time being hehe I believe absolutely not. Software cannot replace creation. I absolutely support dntx in developing software. This seems to be an eternal debate in the field of AI: weak AI or strong AI? I firmly believe in weak AI. Firstly, software cannot be aesthetically pleasing. Secondly, software cannot be made out of nothing. This is doomed that it can only assist creation but cannot lead creation. In fact, the software has a positive significance for mainland ASC, which has not been mentioned in detail. It enhances the aesthetic appetite, that is to say It excludes some things that are not beautiful from our aesthetic vision
