When I think about the things that appeal to people about AI, I go back to what Aaron says to his bullies in Broadcast News: “You'll never know the pleasure of writing a graceful sentence or having an original thought.” The act of creation is the reward. The money is what allows us to keep doing it.

Love this observation! "Broadcast News" has so many good lines, and this was definitely one of the most memorable.

A game keeps trying to reward me with an AI-generated picture as a trophy, like it's the AI-generation that makes it so desirable, and not the actual picture. It's a really stupid picture, too. Doesn't even have anything to do with the game.

SF&F writers envisaged #AI doing the tedious work for creative people, but today we've got AI doing creative work for tedious people.
Contrary to techbros' fondest desires, today's AI is not the future - it is the past pushed through numerous filters of dubious value onto an unwilling present.

This song by Gillian Welch- 'Everything is free'- makes the same point, well and very sadly:
