The Ratatouille motion capture jab is such a perfect example of tech panic aging poorly. What felt like defending authenticity in 2007 is now standard practice, same as Avatar normalizing the technique industry-wide. I've watched similar boundries collapse in my field when tools shifted from "shortcuts" to essential. The Keith Thomson misread nails how unrelaible our "I know it when I see it" radar actually is.
You would think with the accelerating pace of technology people would start to notice the bias more! I remember how confidently people assured me in school that using Google and Wikipedia was a lazy and terrible way to research something.
