Appreciate your comment. I'd never argue with Robert Redford. What he demonstrated was the phenomenon of "presence," which is not age-related. In fact, his presence was enhanced by allowing himself to be unafraid to be seen as old.

Do you see a parallel between cosmetic surgery and AI to replace creativity. They both diminish the quality of humanity.

Robert Redford once said that cosmetic surgery, botox, fillers, etc. made people look “body-snatched” and it’s so true. The unique roadmap of their life was being erased, and what was left is a curated person. As you said, our faces are badges of having lived our lives - the joy and the pain - and if we deny that, what’s really left?
