Any time something is made easier and you get more of it, it becomes worth less.

There might be a claim that there is still some human creativity involved, maybe. But it's sort of like amateurs at an open mic night telling memorized jokes that they didn't write compared to a comedian who has spent thousands of hours perfecting stories, jokes, punch lines, timing, and phrasing.

That is only the case with commodities. Not creative works and/or entertainment.

Often these amateurs are often funnier than the professionals. However that of course is subjective.
