OK, about that "AI is bad thing", why do you think that?

AI truly cannot do anything outside its training set because it is not creative. However, I also don't see that human generated stories are necessarily more creative. For example there are myriad movies that are essentially derivative, as arguably there are a finite set of plots:

- https://www.openculture.com/2020/08/37-possible-stories.html

Or duplicates as in remakes, or beating a story to a thin, flavorless broth through franchises. Couldn't it be claimed that humans have been doing what everyone believes that AI will do?

No. Humans even do bad better than AI.

I agree. AI's threatened capabilities are all hype.
