If you believe AI is so incredibly useful.. then actually you should be happy to reap the advantages of it whilst the "anti" crowd buried their heads in the sand. I have seen people on this forum unironically ask what AI can't do. As if they have genuinely tried yet failed to plumb the depths of its ability. If I had a genie in a bottle then I would simply make wishes and not worry about correcting the record. Whereas if people are using a broke genie to create slop that inconveniences me I'd be upset. So a better question is.. if you there is nothing this genie can't do why aren't you quietly churning out masterpieces

Because the 'masterpiece' requires imagination.

Writing more lines of code at a higher rate does not make any contribution toward improving imagination. maybe you can have more attempts in life and something may land? maybe. but you'll always get beaten by someone with imagination eventually - given technology compresses life cycles your app may no longer have any demand within 12 months of being shipped.
