> I feel like this will get missed by the general public. What’s the point in generating writing or generating art if it gives next to zero feelings of accomplishment?

It depends on what you're trying to do. I mean if the point of doing anything is a "feeling of accomplishment" why hire anyone to do anything you could do yourself. Why hire a builder to build your home? Why hire a mechanic to fix your car? Why pay a neighborhood kid to mow your lawn? Why hire a photographer for your wedding? Why hire a cook to make a meal? People hire others because even if they could do it themselves, they don't enjoy it but they need or still want the outcome for some reason or another.

Would you want to hire someone to write your blog for you? No you probably wouldn't if its a personal blog, so likewise you probably wouldn't want to use an AI for it either. But if it's a marketing blog like almost every business seems to have on their website these days full of listicles and vague "did you know" marketing? Sure, it's probably already outsourced anyway, so why not use an AI.

You probably don't want to be using an AI to generate artwork if you're aiming to make a painting that expresses your inner feelings. But if you're making a game and you suck at painting or drawing, you might hire it out, using an AI in that case isn't any different.
