As much as I complain about his extreme slowness, I'd still rather get a book written 100% by GRRM! The computers can get their turn after he, me, you, and everyone else is dead...

I get your sentiment, and I'm not gonna argue against it. As a freelance illustrator, I've had my own fair share of problems meeting deadlines. I wish I can just make art at my own pace, but my clients want work to be churned out as soon as possible. Which I will relate this conversation with AI. I feel like AI (at its current usage) just perpetuates the vicious cycle in capitalism where quantity trumps quality, or that they have unrealistic expectations for work to be of high quality but with unrealistic deadlines. That's why they turn to AI.
