>takes the skill out of making things

It does not take the skill out of making things. This is the same thing as people who complained about Photography replacing artist, when all it did was allow people to save an image of a place in time in the real world without having to ask an artist to spend 500 hours painting the image of the real world, which is hardly an expression of art. If anything, the Camera freed the artist to pursue the metaphysicial recreation of the world through their lived experience, thus creating actual art, instead of what is comissioned and asked for by the lords and leaders.

As far as the hard work argument goes, this one doesn't make much sense. People work hard now to not work hard in the future, people used to pick potatoes in the US and sent their kids to schools so they didn't have to do that. Now they work as clerks in grocery stores and mexicans pick the potatoes. Life goes on, the quality of life goes up, human capital moves and shifts around to where it needs to, it's not so stagnant as people believe.

And likewise, AI being used to create news and media isn't changing anything that doesn't already exist, it only speeds it up. The real challenge that will exist is removing bureaucracy from your lives, stop letting voting be so consequential. The government should be a slow moving turtle for exactly these reasons, or should be extremely limited in capability in so far as only the department of justice and defense exist. The reason that AI being used as a means of pushing political agendas is a concern is not a concern of AI, but the government.

And for as many bad people that will go "batshit", there's just as many good people that will innovate with it. This is the same argument one could use against guns, they're really all not that fundamentally different.
