In the same way there’s a distinction between writers and typists, and you really don’t hear anything about typists these days.

Not sure that analogy applies. I'd compare it to the difference between an engineer building a bridge and a politician ring-fencing the funds for it.

Again, these tools let you operate in that model as well.

But if you want to design the aesthetic of the bridge, ensure that it is ergonomic for cars, bicycles, pedestrians, make sure it is designed to last and withstand rare weather events, and fully modeled with FIE… you can do that too.

AI is like having a thousand specialists in every field, waiting for you to ask. You can have them research, check each other’s work, build simulations, etc… or you can let them go unused, or you can ask them to tell you how smart you are.
