"I have no math talent, but that's ok I'll use a tool to help" - absolutely no issues, math is hard and you don't need most of it in "real life" (nonsense of course)
"I can't code so I'll use a web page maker to help" - all good, learning to code is optional, it's what you create that matters right?
"Hey AI, break this concept down for me to help me learn it" - surprisingly, still good (though very ill advised, also built on plagiarism and putting private tutors out of work...).
"I have no art talent, but that's ok I'll use a tool to help" - society melts down because...?
I suppose it could just be a case of being happy to see talents we don't have replaced by a tool? Then again, it might be artists are better at generating attractive looking arguments for their case.
What tools do you need to replace "math talent"? If you're talking about calculators - first of all they're for arithmetic, not math - and second they still do not help you to "solve math problems". You need logic, experience and intellect to do that. The only "tool" thag can help you is an online forum if someone already solved it.
You still need to do stuff, think with your brain and spend time to build the web page. You need to have taste and work your sweat (and some tears) into it.
No, not good unless you want to be misinformed and/or manipulated
Because the massive group of people were screwd over without their consent to make a tool that going to devalue their work. If you look closely on the examples you yourself provided, you can see that they all respect copyright of others and are themselves often a good and productive work. Ai on the other hand were made "at the expense" of us, and we are rightfully mad.
I can't believe I have to say it on Lemmy of all places but fuck copyright.
