Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Computers lack creativity and only provide answers based on data input.
This quote by Pablo Picasso highlights the limitations of computers in the realm of creativity and original thought. While computers can process vast amounts of information and provide answers, they do not possess the human ability to think creatively or innovate, which is essential in arts and many other fields. Picasso emphasizes that true value lies in the human capacity to generate ideas and interpretations rather than merely receiving responses from machines.
