How AI entices us

I get how AI can be enticing to people: it gives them the sense of achieving what wouldn't be possible to achieve by themselves with the current skill set they have.

I too lack skills in several places, and I wish I could do them, but resorting to AI for this purpose is to disrespect those who actually cultivated and honed these skills, by giving you a false, ersatz emulation that was cobbled up by pillaged materials.

If you don't have a creatively oriented mindset, then you'll only care about the finished product, unable to appreciate the thought process, attempts and failures that improves our craft. I may suck at writing lyrics, but I have written them with my own skills and I wouldn't want a computer to take away this pleasure from me.

If you reduce all creative endeavors to a couple prompt tokens, wanting to optimize every aspect of the process, then what respect do you have towards creatives? Creating is difficult, sure, but difficulty, in this case, is desirable and appreciated.

The power of translating ideas to actions by yourself is a skill to be respected, especially in these times.
