Working means you give it input and it produces the expected output for all your defined used cases. Don't confuse working with good.

Let's keep your analogy: AI isn't producing software that is the equivalent of a AAA movie title by any stretch but it is producing far better than a bunch of kids in a garage with their cell phones can make. Which is orders of magnitude better than 20 minutes of blank video. Which means that people will use it whether you like it or not.

Reality doesn't care if you think it is a bad idea... in fact I think you and I are on the same page, I do think it is a bad idea... but reality will continue to exist whether you and I like it or not.

You're not helping anyone by arguing how crappy and harmful it is to someone who already knows how crappy and harmful it is.
