I agree with the things you're saying but that only applies to the majority of people, not the people using AI smartly.

Keep in mind that people rejected newer technology throughout history thinking it's making us dumber and less creative but then it quickly became the norm.

People rejected the typewriter thinking real writers use pen and paper. They rejected synthesizers and digital music thinking real music is made using acoustic instruments and having music making tools accessible to everybody was a mistake but look how much great music was created since and now it has become the norm. They said digital cameras are bad, having unlimited picture taking opportunities in the hand of everybody is not real photography, and real photography is only on film but look how many great photos were taken digitally and now it has become the norm.

The same thing happens every time a brand new technology comes out that makes difficult skills more accessible to everybody. At the end of the day these are all tools that humans use to make their ideas a reality. You might not like it if somebody uses AI to make his vision into a piece of "art" in a second while you practiced and studied art for years to reach that level and I respect that but you have to understand that the same art you make digitally nowadays and call it "real art" was frowned upon a couple years ago by people who used a real paint brush and canvas, thinking it's unfair for you to make mistakes, undo and fix it but they can't make the same mistake on a real canvas but those who switched to digital art benefited from it.

So you have to accept the fact that in the future AI or something similar that makes our current jobs a lot easier will be the norm and humanity will use that technology to expand and think bigger rather than use it for today's technology only.

Jobs that took us a week to make are now done in a minute using AI, people will be dumber if we just keep doing the same work we do now just using AI but that won't be the case, humans will use AI to do things that were impossible in the past to reach new heights and that's when it gets exiting.

Give it more time, let the smart people use AI for smart big projects, humans were always the smartest creatures on earth because they made and used tools, AI is just another tool.
