My wife is a creative director and she loves using this stuff. It's just another thing that she's added to her toolkit. It's actually remarkable to me how different people react to this stuff and just one more reason she and I are well-matched. Our reactions to LLMs and Diffusion Models are very similar. These are just new tools for us to accomplish what we want to do. She used to draw on paper, then a Wacom, now she only ever doodles on her iPad. She designed our wedding clothes with Dall-E + Adobe AI + illustrating in PS/Illustrator. I used to write code painstakingly in a text editor, then a rudimentary language-aware text editor, and then an IDE, and then an IDE with integrated LLMs. I ask my Mistral to find bugs and to tell me how to work with obscure systems. These tools are really wonderful for doing things. They're not perfect and don't replace humans. But at every stage I recall most people opposing this stuff. And at every stage I recall enjoying the new tool. So I can only assume that the opposition to LLMs is the same as the opposition to search engines back in the day: "Real knowledge isn't about just looking up stuff. You only really grok something if you read the manual. There's lots of bits that relate to each other that you have to know".
