Such as? Generating tons of spam? Generating tons of boilerplate code (which shouldn't have been necessary if the industry haven't been valuing coders' fungibility above development time)? Adult content is probably the only usecase so far that isn't automating away what should never be done in the first place.

AI models are making porn. I there are "nudify" apps (basically undress social media pics) and a rush to ban them.


you're conflating “usecases I don’t like” with “no usecases”


It's not about whatever I like them or not. It is about "will it pay for itself"?


Nah, that’s not how you started with your response. And regardless you and that articles thesis is playing out wrong ;)
