Reading this above made me think of song lyrics from the 60's

"And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And sign flashed out it's warning In the words it was forming Then the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and in tenement halls" And whispered in the sound of silence"

Honestly I think a lot of these tools are hit and miss right now. Some are pretty cool, super easy to steal stuff (art for example), and have it look mostly good to an untrained eye, or in the case of chat return reasonable good answers but often they still can't compare to a professional with the insight and history of understanding principals that are just not there yet in these tools. Will they ever be? I'm not sure. Some of these tools may survive but a lot will be hit with copyright, plagiarism, restricted use, and probably mainstream use with the understanding quality will go down but stuff will get cheaper... Like auto generated captions, most of the time it kinda sucks and I always have to go back and fix a bunch of stuff. It's sort of like CGI, if know what you are looking for it's pretty clear, but sometimes it can fool people. Considering people were being fooled in the 60's with chat bots (Eliza is well known), it will be interesting to see where this goes. Considering all this was stuff even before my parents time, I expect the younger generation to catch on to it too and to have some small counter movements too.
