>Simply consider the users that use generative AI in order to perform some unimportant work

Says who ? I certainly don't use it for unimportant work.

>(as I hope is the case, for generative AI cannot produce anything of novelty, by design)

Another Unfounded Assertion

>then through simple deduction you can conclude that the generative AI contributed nothing of value.

Nonsensical. 'Unimportant work' that people keep doing is work that needs to be done. Getting it done is providing value.

>I could say a pornography website is of extreme value to humanity.

Pornography provides a lot of value yes.

You have once again conflated individualistic values with real world values, and shown bias to personal anecdotes. I am afraid you are simply incapable of understanding so there is no point to discussing this further.

>You have once again conflated individualistic values with real world values

I'm not. It's just nonsensical to think there is some 'real world value' independent of the people said product is targeting in the first place. You don't get to tell people what provides them value.

And by the way, this person I replied to in the first place is specifically commenting on this 'individualistic value' so I have no idea why you thought your comment was relevant if you think such distinctions exist.

You're the one who seems bent on personal anecdotes if anything if your assumption is that LLMs are used for 'unimportant work'. I did not initially bring anecdotes or assumptions into the matter at all.

>I am afraid you are simply incapable of understanding

Whatever floats your boat I guess

>there is no point to discussing this further.

Sure
