There’s a natural desire for people to want to make things. Most of the time it’s physical: homes, crafts, woodworking. But for a few of us it’s ok for it to be non physical. Actually, that’s part of the allure of programming: you don’t need much more than a computer and some thinking to build incredibly intricate… things. AI is like a brand new power tool. It’s fun to use because you can build faster. I felt a sense of giddiness the first time I used a table saw after using a push saw my whole life.

I think you’re missing the op’s point. Yes it’s fun but you don’t personally get any of the gains. Just more work
Well fun can be the gain
I think you're missing the point. The person you replied to wrote:

... and all you can think of is "gains"?
