I can see how it might be seen as more facile to correct/critique than to produce the original work. This is actually true, same as how its easier to iterate on something than to wholesale create the thing.

Definitely find it easier to extend or elaborate on something "old" over crapping out a new thing, altho I can see how that is not always the case if its too "legacy". ChatGPT is intriguing because it can arguably modularly generate many of the parts, you would just need to glue them together properly and ensure all the outputs are cohesive and coherent

For example: if you're a lawyer and you generate anything, you must at the very least

  1. Read, not dictate
  2. Ensure all caselaw cited a) definitely exists and b) is relevant to the facts and arguments they are being used to support
