The issue with creative and novel output from people is neither about intellectual property nor energy, though. So even someone who has nothing (personal) to lose by adopting these techs should be able to reflect on how that will make things look 5, 10, 20 years from now.

And I'm not talking about climate or poor starving artists here. But of course, if everyone thinks like you seem to do we might just give up on having a livable planet in 50 years. Or any significant scientific or artistic progress.

Yeah that's nice, but I don't care and it's not going to stop this train. The future I envision coming is one where even local models are sufficiently capable to give common people the ability to control their own computers in a way that previously would have required them to hire a team of professionals, or to devote years of their life to study. Frontier models aren't quite good enough yet for normies to use in this way, let alone local models, but this stuff is all still very new and there's a lot of competition to improve it. I think we'll get there, and in any case the upsides are big enough already to squash all the whining objections. You can't stop this tech, all you can do is stop yourself from benefiting from it while others do.
