Also when a chef writes a recipe, it's usually from experimenting and experience while cooking. An AI writing a recipe will say to use a dozen eggs, a teaspoon of sugar, and a metric ton of flour to make 2 pancakes.

What makes my position difficult is that I understand the logic of where you're coming from, that AI in its current state regularly produces slop. However, AI hysterics speak out of both sides of their mouth on this issue.

AI is either slop that can never live up to the creative intricacies the human mind can fabricate, that it is little more than a simple imitation of what we have, rather than new and budding ideas from talented human beings.

Or

AI is a dangerous technology that serves to completely eclipse and replace artists as well as other professions and should be actively sabotaged or legislated against to be defeated before it has the chance to become even stronger than it is.

I understand having a bias, but it's important to not react to things out of fear or anger especially when it's misused by others. I want AI to become a titanic force for good and to have that opinion in a sea of people desperate to murder it in the womb is exhausting to say the least.

Comparing it to a chef is one of many disingenuous analogies that serve to perpetuate the idea that AI is bad, will always be bad, and should be cast aside now to spare everyone the trouble.
