I agree with you that the use of AI in these fields is not worrying. I would go a step further, too, and say to anyone who is worried that AI threatens the job of the novelist or the artist that, if anything, all AI does in those cases is force the human to elevate their craft. AI will never have a soul, but it can lessen the amount of soul-stifling work a human has to do. Beyond that, it can also be an incidental aid to stalled creativity. I also love the observation that even though much human labor was free in Rome, leaps in technological development didn't really take off until humans started to value all human life and thus all human labor and then sought some way to make it easier on both the back and the soul. A wonderful post!

Great way to express it: “AI will never have a soul, but it can lessen the amount of soul-stifling work a human has to do.”
