I agree. I see ChatGPT as similar to music synthesizers. They enable creativity. Creativity in novel ways as well.

What if you want to express yourself with a violin sound but don't know how to play one?

Great rhetorical question which touches on the issues nicely.

Something special does feel lost by us being able to play a (near) perfect violin sound at the press of a button.

On the other hand, some lovely pieces have been made with those buttons.

It seems reasonable that new technologies might stretch both of these outcomes, maybe not in equal parts.
