Seems like pulling punches to call this art or a joke. If we can simplify the UX on a technology that creates value to where animals can use it, that's an amazing technology.
It's likely that we can use AI (not necessary tho) to interpret human interfaces to find and create symbolic games with analogous dynamics that can be "played" or managed by animals.
doing this for FX is a great insight as that market is relatively pure or efficient from an information perspective. Rats are interesting, but building this for crows could be a game changer. Avian arbitrage.
on the idiom, pulling punches means not following through on a criticism, like saying "hah, only joking!" or, "don't challenge me it's just art!", where selling it short means describing it as less than it could be. They're related, but no, I did not misuse an idiom. however, for people whose first language isn't english I could accept the idiom is a bit opaque for a public forum.
i’m a native english speaker. the reason your usage is incorrect is because what you are saying is they didn’t sufficiently recognize the ‘amazing’ potential of these ideas, the exact opposite of the criticism implied by pulling punches.
ask chatgpt or something to arbitrate, i’m confident it would agree with me
what the artist created was technology that automates traders, and calling it mere art or commentary is pulling the punch on the challenge this poses to actual traders. consider reading more literature and even writing for edited publications before commenting on idiom usage again.
Both your and the other person's phrases are correct, but depending on what they're applied to. Calling it a joke or art pulls the punch on traders doing the same thing and feeling good about their trading skills, while calling it just art also sells the technology short as far as its capabilities go.
