I'm with you in that except the nothing of value has been created, which I would tweak to nothing new of value has been created.

I've spent more than an hour with the tools, ChatGPT and SD being my two big buckets and it's great for productivity within some areas, mostly in fast mockup/art and creative writing, mostly fiction level.

I've use it to format and transform my own work, and as a tool it's useful.

Like any of these tools, early adopters get an edge for a bit and then the market adoption rolls out and we equalize.

I see it mostly filling in the 80% of the easy stuff, with humans stepping in for that last 20%, which has been my approach with good success.

However the hype train around it has gone past annoying and into downright scammish/spamish marketing.
