  • There is a tradeoff between X and Y due to technical constraints at some point in time.
    • There is an X-oriented one, B, and a Y-oriented one, A, and they are considered separate.
  • Technology changes the trade-off line. - feasibility frontier expands
    • At this time, a new C is possible, which combines the X of B and the Y of A.
    • In this case, there is no clear rule as to whether C is called A or B. Everyone reads it in whichever way they see fit.
      • So it is usually called by the “major one” that is easy to think of.
        • Let’s say they call me A.
          • Attribute X has improved so much, Y is a keeper.
          • Suppose there is an attribute Z not depicted in this diagram, and A is high in it, but C is not.
          • A person who is used to the traditional A looks at the newly called A, C, and says, “No, Z is too low. - People who focus on the lack of
          • Those who went from B to C didn’t care about Z in the first place.
    • (I felt another diagram was needed for this “word change”) - Drawing on past dichotomies
      • The case is a little different in that there was no dichotomy in this case.

concrete example

  • A: Cartoon
  • B: Content combining ASCII art with dialogue
    • The “Learning by Doing” series, etc.
  • C: Content combining AI-generated pictures with dialogue
  • A had the advantage of “a combination of pictures and text”.
    • I wanted to get its advantages, but the cost of painting was too high.
    • So ASCII art was used as an inexpensive “picture substitute.
    • This is the birth of B
    • B has the advantage of “lower production costs” compared to A (X)
    • A has the advantage of a “cleaner picture” than B (Y)
  • Advances in technology have made “AI-based image generation” possible.
    • The ability to generate beautiful pictures inexpensively created the C
  • Calling C an A is uncomfortable for those who originally did A.
    • Because those people did not see the value in Axis X.
    • First you think “C is not A”, then you try to reason with it and say “it’s inferior on the Z axis”.
      • In the case of cartoons, actions such as looking at C and pointing out that “the composition is one-patterned”.
      • Evaluation axis Z “good composition” is introduced.
    • But those who did B don’t appreciate Axis Z.
      • So I feel that it is off-topic, off-topic, and off-topic to talk about axis Z.
