Yeah which I still feel is utterly ridiculous. I love the idea of AI tools to assist with things, but as a complete replacement? No thank you.

I enjoy using things like SynthesizerV and VOCALOID because my own voice is pretty meh and my singing skills aren't there. It's fun to explore the voices, and learn how to use the tools. That doesn't mean I'd like to see all singers replaced with synthesized versions. I view SynthV and the like as instruments, not much more.

I've used LLVMs to proofread stuff, and help me rephrase letters and such, but I'd never hire an editor to do such small tasks for me anyway. The result has always required editing anyway, because the LLVMs have a tendency to make stuff up.

Cases like that I don't see a huge problem with. At my workplace though they're talking about generating entire application layouts and codebases with AI and, being in charge of the AI evaluation project, the tech just isn't there yet. You can in a sense use AI to make entire projects, but it'll generate gnarly unmaintainable rubbish. You need a human hand in there to guide it.

Otherwise you end up with garbage websites with endlessly generated AI content, that can easily be manipulated by third party actors.
