AI is a shortcut to creativity and a accellerator to lazyness. This is very well know by now, I'm not saying something crazy
> Have you ever felt joy watching a sunset? Smelling a flower? Hearing a song? Seeing a child laugh? Did you create any of those things? yes and has nothing to do with prompting congratulations
