The thing is, I'm sure programming requires creativity -- but I've also lived through the last twenty years, and have seen how that creativity is used in practice to create the most boring, ugly, user-hating money siphons possible. Creative technology was supposed to liberate us, and instead it's made every aspect of modern life not directly related to making money markedly worse. Generative AI is more of the same.
