Why is ChatGPT Being Treated Like a Pariah?

I am an artist, programmer, graphic designer, musician and writer. Proficient in all aforementioned areas - master of none. When I finished writing my first book back in 2020, no AI was available for anything. The most we had available back then was Autocorrect, MS Word, Final Draft, and pay-apps like "Grammarly." I had to hire two professional editors from Upwork: one to edit my manuscript and the other to double-check the first editor's work.
