AI art seems like it's at least a useful technology. There are plenty of times in my life I've been like, "I wish I had an image to stick here, unfortunately I cannot draw worth a shit" and something like DALL-E makes that problem feel solvable in a way that doesn't involve spending 10,000 hours learning a new skill.

I can't see the use case for AI writing, though, outside of extremely niche cases. Maybe to generate text that exists only to look realistic, not to actually be read -- like generating a bunch of flavor text for a library in an RPG or something. But AI-written fiction or even articles feel meritless by definition. I can't imagine a world where I'd bother reading any of it unless essentially tricked into it, and the fact that I even have to worry about that now is truly frustrating.

Either one can be fun as a toy though, so at least there's that.
