Are we really comparing this research to just writing and having a good answer in a couple of seconds?
Like, I agree with you and I believe those things will resist and will always be important, but it doesn't really compare in this case.
Last week I was in the nature and I saw a cute bird that I didn't know. I asked an AI and got the correct answer in 10 seconds.
Of course I would find the answer at the library or by looking at proper niche sites, but I would not have done it because I simply didn't care that much. It's a stupid example but I hope it makes the point
There's a gigantic difference between outsourcing your brain to generative AI (LLMs, Stable Diffusion, ..) and pattern recognition that recognises songs, birds, plants or health issues.
