"If you don’t like this level of deceit, you’re going to hate nearly all applications of Generative AI because they do far worse and on a far larger scale." Nope, if ChatGPT generates me some code that I can use for a real problem, or a generates product description for a friends buisness, than this is generating real value and no fake, no deceiving, no lie.
