I so agree with your story's conclusion about AI here. For me, AI is simply a mirror of its user, if there's bullshit in, there will be bullshit out... true artists can learn to make use of the new tools available and improve their final output by "lightyears". Yes, it is the new world and if you're not creative, have no ideas and simply want AI "to do the job", there will be unengaging, uninspired and boring content coming out on the other end, if an artist learns how to utilize the new tools, we will all get to enjoy even better work going forward! Cheers
