Articles like this makes this uneasy though resurface: something is wrong with this path. It's not really about AI itself, but about the efficiency of the path. AI proponents tell us that this tool enable them to be purely creative by expressing their ideas without having any of the churn associated with the implementation. But rather than telling us that we "need" AI, doesn't it tell us that modern tools are mis-designed? Wouldn't it be possible to imagine a set of tools that is better designed and allow us to express creative ideas more purely, with less churn and, most importantly, without the uneasy "fuzziness" associated with AI?
