I'm familiar with all the arguments against GenAI, and I'm a big fan of authors like @baldur whose excellent book, The Intelligence Illusion, I've read twice. It's highly recommended. https://illusion.baldurbjarnason.com/
I have a degree in computational linguistics, and that's partly why I was so skeptical of these tools for so long. I still am! But more and more I felt like the world was moving on without me. To this day I feel deeply conflicted.
