As a premise I agree with this argument, however, in my own practical use of Chat GPT, I find that it often inspires — not replaces - my own creativity.

It can give a good skeleton for how an idea can end up looking - which is often exactly what I need to implement the vision I have.

Perhaps this is still skipping a vital part of the ideation process, but it doesn’t seem to me like it’s completely devoid of creative struggle.
