It's a computer program that turns the hard work of artists and utterly ridiculous amounts of water into samey, uncanny abominations. To compare that to the moon landing? I don't even have words for that.
I don't think they're comparing it to the moon landing. If I say "Rome wasn't built in a day" I'm not taking about Rome.
Then say that instead. That's a common saying most people are aware of. I've seen Silicon Valley types promise all kinds of shit before, so this just fits right in.
It could give prettier results but that doesn't solve the ethical issues (and even for the prettier part I can see there being fundamental limits)
Raising ethical issues in this culture is like handing out speeding tickets at a racetrack.
Also, we've married technology. We couldn't stop its progress even if we wanted to.
