A counter-point could be that AI is advancing so fast that, when it comes to a certain type of model or product, you might as well wait until all the weird quirks and bugs and half-functioning elements are ironed out and the full, polished product comes out later. I've witnessed lots of AI models go from barely working and requiring lots of "hacks" and workarounds to suddenly being solved. For instance, in the early days of Stable Diffusion, you had all those voodoo ways to try and make it produce better images (e.g. the infamous "splatterprompting" I wrote about once) - and then the newer image models just "get" what you're saying and make perfect images almost every time.
So in some areas, you can probably afford to let the boulder roll on without you for a bit, only to catch a better boulder later. Uh...that analogy rolled away from me.
I couldn't agree more. Maybe I should have taken the time to explain that this is a bit of a counterpoint to what you're describing, which I think I've told you plenty of times is my main approach.
Once again, here's another reason to read the comments - I don't always get the chance to boulder everything off of my chest.
I feel like "cheese" would've been a fresher rhyme and quite fitting in the context of eating Doritos, but I do respect your bold, creative decision to stick with "these" and rhyming that with "these."
I have been repeatedly told and shown that using AI to write is bad, so I don't do it. Likewise I'd rather support human artists rather than subsidize AI programs, but I feel like if I'm going to offer any merchandise based on my characters somewhere, I might have to use it for that.
I have little interest in portioning out any of my creative endeavors to AI, but I'll admit that I love the images I can create in seconds... but that's much more about sharing ideas and symbols, not the artistry of what my hand can do (that's what I did when I was a kid every night).
The real place I find value, though, is when doing research. I can just find out details and 30,000 foot views so much more thoroughly and without any effort (well, way less effort anyway). I would say the research and information gathering side is well worth the squeeze right now.

Now we're on a metaphorical roll!
I call this the “AI quicksand problem” - spend too long with one model and you’ll be too stuck to adapt to what’s coming next.
Shoulder to the Boulder, Pedal to the Metal! AI cant make these rhymes.
These rhymes cost dimes!
Burnin' trees to make new ABC's
I kinda dislike long threads such as these.
It's like when I find myself eating EVEN MORE DORITOS even though I literally just said, "I'm sick and I cannot stop eating these"
