My problem with finding enjoyment in this is the same problem I have when using cheat codes in games: the doing part is the fun part, getting to the end or just permutations of the end gets really boring.

Trying to draw a squirrel when you have no artistic talents or experience is not the fun part.

I've produced my own music recordings in the past and I've hired musicians to play the instruments that I cannot. Having exasperated recording engineers watch my 5,000th take on a drum fill that I absolutely cannot play is not the fun part. Sitting behind the glass and watching my vision come to life from a really good drummer is absolutely the fun part.

Is having the ai spit out idea after idea fun in the same way for you?

He's not talking about using AI to generate ideas, he's talking about using AI to turn ideas into reality.
