I just saw a video about a webdev showing a motorcycle site, complete with an animated SVG bike.
He remarked it would've taken him a week to do this.
This made me realize how much computers and user interfaces suck. As a quite enthusiastic, but not very artistic kid, I most certainly did draw bikes like that and even more complex stuff, using nothing but pen and paper.
If your trillion dollar industry makes products that are beaten by pen and paper, I guess there's time for self-reflection.
And the funny thing is, it used to be better than this, using Flash and a drawing tablet was way easier than anything in the HTML era (and more importantly, user friendly), but still way worse than just grabbing a pencil in many ways.
User interfaces just suck, chatbots are somewhat better than most, but I feel the industry hasn't really been progressing in any meaningful sense.
