But the "idealistic proof of ownership of the creative process" has to matter. That's why we do things, even if another can do it more quickly, or better.

It's the reason we do some things for sure. But the reason we created before was that AND because nothing else could. And I think not in that order. We're removing the largest motivation. That if not for us, nothing of art and creativity would exist.
