With most developments in technology, what usually happens is that many humans learn how to operate the tools without needing to know the internal details too well, which boosts their productivity and output as they have more time to think about creative visions and difficult problems instead of performing labor. Much like how you don’t need to know anything about the principles behind a combustion engine to drive a car well. We instead have dedicated professions where people are put in charge of retaining the finer points of how the tool actually works in case that needs to be examined, like a mechanic for your car. One might argue that the high standards we had of managing a horse have been eroded as people gained access to cars, but in reality, the average person is able to achieve meaningful transport with a lower barrier of entry while horse riding still exists as a niche recreational pursuit instead. AI, imo, is poised to operate on the same principles. I wouldn’t be so concerned about laziness and declining standards, I’d be more optimistic about how much easier it’ll be for the average person to participate in creative artistic projects.
