Anecdata: I know writers, editors, and white collar non-tech workers of all kinds who use AI daily and like it.

When GPT3.5 first landed a lifelong writer/editor saw a steep decrease in jobs. A year later the jobs changed to "can you edit this AI generated text to sound human", and now they continue to work doing normal editing for human or human-ish writing while declining the slop-correction deluge because it is terrible work.

I can't help but see the software analogy for this.
