It's bad that AI has taken over creative tasks but it's just as bad that it takes over even the more humble ones. Curiously, it's the latter that are the hardest to train AI on because these tasks require an interaction with the physical world, which is harder to learn. Chatbots are directed to seem as human as possible, which is a fraud because they are not human. So with chatbots, AI is nothing more than a costly and elaborate fraud. AI can be useful in medicine, science, etc. but instead it's promoters strive to make it seem more human, increasing the costs and dangers.
