I vilify code LLMs every time I review a colleague's code, ask them why they wrote something a certain way, and they can't explain. ChatGPT prose is even worse: it's like a corporate press release, only even blander and happytalker.

Yet I’m using AI-created illustrations for my graphic novel, fully aware of copyright and legal debates.
Both Copilots and art generators are trained on vast datasets—so why do we cheer one and vilify the other?
We lean on ChatGPT to rewrite blog posts and celebrate Copilot for “boosting productivity,” but AI art still raises eyebrows.
Is this a matter of domain familiarity, perceived craftsmanship, or simple cultural gatekeeping?
