Perhaps I can help you get gruntled: I refused to use AI for creative things for a long time, but last month I used some AI tools to make songs and videos and, man, I did some stuff I couldn't have done without paying a whole production team. Pretty awesome!

A whole team of people could produce fine paper and we could handwrite our illuminated posts on it. We could have an army of paper boys who deliver these missives to all our followers. We could probably employ more people if we engraved our SN posts in stone or marble. Perhaps singing bards could seranade the sidewalks with what we want to share...

The difference between your example and AI-generated content is that people don't pretend they produced their own paper while people do that all the time with AI-generated content.

There's something here: it feels icky when someone gets a chat response and thoughtlessly tries to pass it off as their own.
But why? I generally don't subscribe to the labor theory of value. I don't need people to spend five hours writing a post - if it's interesting I should be happy.
There is this other thing: we don't like things saying they are true stories when they aren't. Like that guy who wrote a memoir and it was very popular until everyone discovered he just made it all up.
Apparently we have different standards for reality and fiction. Maybe it has nothing to do with how much work goes into a thing, but whether or not it actually is what it purports to be.
Nobody likes to see an athlete win all the medals because they were on a performance enhancing cocktail train, even though our bodies probably wouldn't be able to achieve anything special on the same cocktail (and we wouldn't very much like the side effects).

Yes, it's just about deception for me.
Maybe someday we will simply expect that everything is generated by AI, so it’s no longer deceiving to not label it as such, but I suspect that will be a sad day.

of a time put into the ground a century ago...May I not lament this passing moment? perhaps to learn a thing or two from it about how to proceed? Although, I am having a difficult time discovering a lesson

You certainly deserve the time to lament if for no other reason than the delightful turn of phrase.

I accept this
a friend called me a boomer yesterday when I expressed the same lament
I'll take it!

what do you think about the burning waymos in LA

yeah great question, I did at first feel vindicated when I saw it. I was like nothing good came out of that except the burning waymos. Then I reflected further and took it to be the stunt that it was, not an organic of-the-people thing. So now I don't care.
