I think you raise a good and nuanced point.
My own position is, actually, I mostly agree with you! I've been saying that I don't like to get on people's case when they use genAI for fuzzy search/brainstorming/prototyping/etc. I don't personally dig it, but it's not my primary concern.
I'm trying to keep stuff out of *production* assets. The artifacts the public directly consume in the form of executing code, prose, images, video, etc. *That's* where I'm drawing a line.
