Yes, Robbie! Such an interesting topic. My hunch is that art without a 'creative journey' will instinctively feel hollow to most of us. Anyone can throw a load of paint at a canvas and call it art, but is it...? Perhaps that's wishful thinking, though.
I think part of the problem is that the narrative out there at the moment is so dominated by 'efficiency'. I'm looking forward to seeing more about how AI can enrich the creative process. I'm not using AI to produce my written long-form content, but I am using it (successfully, I feel) to help me brainstorm topics, identify audience perspectives and needs, and to surface interesting directions for research.
It's interesting to see the likes of Google and Medium coming out with strong positions about penalising AI-generated content. How can they be sure they know the difference? Where are the lines drawn? Why and how is this different to well-known authors using teams of writers to pen their novels?

Looking forward to some discussion on this!
So sorry for the slow reply, Clare! Thanks so much for the insights!
It's such a complex topic, evolving so fast, it's difficult to know what to think. Perhaps this is a discussion best reserved for the pub on Thursday!
