It’s not about accessibility moneywise - it’s accessibility skillwise. Many people do not want to put any effort into learning a new skill, so asking AI to do it for them is just way more convenient and “accessible”.
This is part of a large shift in society where “failure” is seen as something extremely negative. You either do something and are immediately good at it, or you should just stop altogether.
I agree with you. I don’t think it’s failure so much as this unwillingness to accept I can’t do something. We have generations of people who want it and want it now, and AI scratches the itch in that regard. I say this as a millennial, I’m 37, and it’s certainly true of my generation, and I find it to be true of all the generations after me.
I don’t know if it’s good or bad. I certainly know why I think it’s bad, the whole delayed gratification, entitlement, etc., but I’m sure access to information, ability to express ideas, and whatnot, are good things too.
And I’ll just indicate I have a personal anti-AI bias. Maybe I’m too lazy to use it, maybe I have some other rationale in my subconscious, but that’s where I come from.

I bet this line speaks to a lot of fellow lemmings who are middle aged nerds with ADHD and were “gifted” in school.
…and then they flood the internet with their garbage zero-effort slop.
I agree with the first part, but I think the second part is unsubstantiated.
I don’t think it is - but there are no studies to confirm that either afaik.
