Yep and this is a key and major point driving the whole AI craze. The hyper capitalist consumer society in which all sense of value has been strictly translated to "what's the immediate output" is prerequisite to the love of these tools. If all you care about is the destination, not the journey, if you are nothing but a consumer, generative AI is fantastic. Infinite monkeys are just as good as Shakespeare if they can produce the output of Shakespeare. What this perspective misses is that, at least historically, the things we value as human beings are actually not just outputs but something much richer and deeper than that. The crazed embrace of AI is just a marked shift toward an even deeper philosophical bankruptcy and pure focus on materialism.
