Can you think any situation where it is ethical to use AI in the creative process? (sh.itjust.works)

Let me assure you that the idea of AI disgusts me. Not just because it debates the quality of work and is a "cheat" to get past the word target, but because it stripey the writer themselves of their accomplishments.

However, it does strike me that people might want to write about subjects that they don't know a lot about. Scientific knowledge, crime, historical stuff. Could that be an ethical place to use AI - not to write it, but to ask "what would confectionary in the 1300s look like?" (For instance). Just niche questions.

Or is there a much better, easier way to look up niche real-world details like that?

No it doesn't. Because to me a reaction image and gif is EXCITING! and I felt like your comment slightly derailed the discussion already. Kind regards.

What discussion? Everyone else just flatly said no and I tried to say no in an interesting way. Whatever, boring ass.
