I find AGI fascinating. Generating bad airbrush art and crappy prose to be summarized badly by another vastly inefficient machine wasting energy on a dying planet so more douchebags desperate to have their very own Smaug horde of gold have another bandwagon to leap on? Not so much. The only thing I even remotely use AI for is Codeium in VS Code and that's almost entirely as autocomplete - every time I've tried to use it to generate anything more than a simple function I end up spending as much time going through it and rewriting it to suit my needs as I would have just writing it myself in the first place. I like writing code, the same way I like writing prose and music and drawing. I will never want or need AI to do these things for me and, if I'm being honest, I'm always gonna be a snob to people who do. If you don't care about the act of creation and the process of learning how to do it, what's the point? To "generate content"? To make money? Go be a prostitute then, if money is all you care about. Maybe a life focused on efficiency of generating content works for some people but, fuck me, I'd rather gouge my own eyes out with a spoon. So yeah, totally with you.
