Look at any photograph or work of art. If you could duplicate exactly the first tiny dot of color, and then the next and the next, you would end with a perfect copy of the whole, indistinguishable from the original in every way, including the so-called "moral value" of the art itself. Nothing can transcend its smallest elements.

Nice quote but it was clearly meant to demonstrate how out of touch a CEO unveiling such tech is from the actual nature of art and its value, which funnily enough is exactly what AI CEOs are doing right now.
So much power and brain resources in the hands of the shallowest of individuals.
