It's more like a musician "playing" a player piano or a singer performing to a backing track with an auto-tuner or a driver "driving" a self-driving car. The machine is doing all the work, the human is just (at most) prompting it.

Whereas really playing a piano or performing live or driving an F1 car or writing a long essay takes some real effort and talent. That's what makes it interesting.

Before Ai, in the music world, DJs are also "just" playing someone else's song, but it turns out there's a lot of skill and effort involved in being a good DJ.
