I don’t think there’s a single serious critic who says AI’s not useful? The concerns I see are about content rights, worker impacts, environmental effects, epistemological threats, or media manipulation.

AI is only “useful” if you ignore that a huge part of the usefulness of creative work is DOING the work, not the end product. If I’m writing a spec for a new software feature, sitting and thinking and being stuck and frustrated and organizing my thoughts is a large portion of the point.
