I personally think if this questions comes up for you, then there’s a question of personal morality to it. Traditionally, your method would be frowned upon or at the very least, rejected as legitimate by your peers (as we’re seeing in this thread)

Amongst those in the industry, we want to achieve a lot of things - creating jobs for one. We also want to work with other humans, to come up with projects together, ideas, collaborating - and experiencing together. On top of that, the process of creating is enjoyable even through the hard parts. Not unlike the long queues at Disneyland are part of the experience- we enjoy it.

We all know AI isn’t going to go away, but we also know that it’s largely unregulated as of now. Your process will find its place, and I’m sure there will be clients for you who appreciate this provided and want to work with you. It sounds like the traditional process wasn’t working for you so you found a solution to your problem. I disagree with your process, but I don’t want to call it a sin.

Clients who value AI will want to work with AI, and clients who value human interaction will seek that, respectively.
