Instead it uses it for ideas and cooperation, and in the end there is post production and real work. I know people doing a similar thing to learn how to write books with AI as a productive tool.&lt;p&gt;In my opinion this is the real promise of AI: elevating the productivity and enabling more people. Like the internet has done, it will give voice and tools to many who could not, and a lot of those “voices” may seem of low quality, but alas such is the price.&lt;p&gt;As in every technological progression, paradigm changes happens. Some good some bad. Give yourself some agency and avoid the bad content and enjoy the good ones.&lt;p&gt;Also if you look at the YouTube videos there are comments of people genuinely liking it.</text></comment>

The incentive is so strong that it&amp;#x27;s a certainty waiting to happen.</text></comment>
