One of the things that have been showing up with AI that I find really interesting is that a lot of people seem to use it for various things they don't have respect for.
For example, a friend of mine teaches at a university, including computer touching, and has a class that is half that half some writing stuff. The writing staff basically say "feel free to use LLMs for coding, it's great for that, but never let it write for you".
Once you see the pattern, it's easy to notice it everywhere: the musician that generates graphics, the programmer that generates documentation : whatever you don't respect as a craft in and of itself you're fine with generating "or else it simply wouldn't exist". Of course when you talk about THEIR special interest this is no longer valid argumentation.
In large part, this seems to happen because in our hyperspecialized world, we only respect things directly related to our specialties, with everything else being "whatever". It's a corollary of the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect, a side-effect of knowing so little about what goes into other pursuits as to basically discount them mentally.
