I think your wording suggests that it isn't actually useful except as a gimmick, whereas it sounds like OP is if anything upset that it is too effective and might someday replace humans.

I don't think a single individual who chooses to "bow out" of AI-generated content will have any impact in the long run. Apologies if my meaning was confused.

Worthwhile posting the counter-essay to Moloch, I think:
