alt Hacker NewsYou're right.
But I like to add artwork to my presentations. My artistic skills have not advanced beyond 2nd grade. So I'll make a line sketch, and give to AI to "fix" it.
The results are nice and I use them.
I have no interest in learning how to do art well myself, so using AI for it is appropriate.
But I still write my code myself.

I haven't seen your presentations, so I can't speak to them. But I do know at work there's a lot more illustrations in docs and presentations and such, and they almost all have an AI art "tell". I find them grating and distracting from the actual content. Very rarely do they add anything useful to the doc other than the knowledge that the owner burned some GPU time and tokens for a distracting, low value illustration.
I can only imagine how an actual artist or graphic designer feels about it.
Actually I don't have to imagine; there's some serious vitriol over on some of my favorite webcomics about it.

Not for long, if you so easily have caved in to using AI elsewhere. People are lazy. If you see that the 'results are nice', it's game over for your programming/thinking.
Waiting for the day the advice will be to "enjoy AI assistance in moderation"
