In sense yes, previously we were engaged in "google engineering, then we went to "stackoverflow engineering" and now its "prompt engineering" - with every step, the magic and mystic increases.
I've been playing around with Node-RED[1] for a while and thought I would recreate this using Node-RED (also being a big fan of Node-RED). The flow[2], i.e. code, is online to have a look at (editable but not deployable) and the feed[3] is cached and updated every hour or so.
It's only a small Heroku server so it might well be down or about to crash, I make no promises!
Thanks to the OP for the inspiration, I did take a lot of ideas from the original codebase :)
The underlying point being made - by the comment - is that if an author is biased because they are selling a product and complaining about their competition, how can the article or the "facts" be trusted?
The orignal article is disguised advertising, advertising in the form of a "knowledgable criticism" of existing payment services.
May the force be with you even if the object isn't.
I once worked at a company where I was responsible for exclusively doing this: building internal tools.
It was one of the most satisifying jobs I ever had. It was for a mobile games company with between 100 and 200 employees. Most developers worked on the mobile games and since these were very hit & miss, developers got disenchanted working for months on a game that got canned because the numbers weren't hit or management changed the focus. Few got to work on successful games - the envy of all developers in the company.
Instead I built these tools - mostly stuff that moved data between various third party products. But also built tools for company motivational purposes. All sorts of stuff including a weather aggregated to measure air quality within the office which sent slack alerts if conditions got unacceptable.
Part of the enjoyment was the immediate feedback from stakeholders and since these were "only" internal tools, there weren't deadlines or hassle about hitting numbers or deadlines. Testing wasn't that important, as long as the tool worked it was fine - a real hack-away until it works type of job!
I also began to see how people worked and whether there might be tooling to make their lives easier - most projects were initiated by a conversationn over a coffee (or other culinary delights)!
I can only recommend this to any company to have a team that exclusively works for the employees to make their lives easier. Simple scripts can sometimes help a long way to making non-tech people more efficient.
Nature and natural resources are in fact a societal good and shouldn't be dominated by a small class of people within society. Sure someone "owns" that land (whatever that means since it was "owned" by others before the Europeans came) and they have certain rights but they should not have all rights.
Imagine a powerful landowner owning _all_ plots of land on which Joshua Tree existed, imagine that landowner unilaterally deciding to destroy all the trees. They have made a decision for future societies that is not theirs to make. The property own profits, society pays.

Indeed, the tenor of the article is that AI will not reach the levels of creativity that humans display, instead our expectations of creative process will be lowered by the sheer quantity. Our expectation on quality will decline so far that we consider what AI produces to be creative and since that is produced far cheaper than humans can, AI creativity will become the new baseline.
