I confess, I skimmed through this because I wanted to see what the 5 points were and then I wanted to comment.

Do you remember the scythe (they're still around) we used them to cut wheat, grass and such.

Then we had the push mower - not bad if you kept the blades sharpened.

Then the power mower - now we're talking.

Now we have AI aided power mowers that do the job while we do the crossword puzzles. Innovation and AI are great in this example.

Writing is not mowing the lawn. If you bring AI into the equation you are invariably removing ever increasing parts of You in the process. If you spend 20 minutes searching for keywords and phrases and then have AI write the article, you are not creating it - you are merely sharpening the blades.

Effective, sure, why not. But the creative bar is being lowered while the "profits" increase.

Maybe it's just a label, but in this case I think it's very important. If you want to use AI to write or create images fine, just call yourself a Facilitator and not a Writer or Graphic Artist. Then move forward.
