Ah, I see what you mean. I'm still dubious, though. Certainly there are people who may turn to AI to create that story that they've always wanted to see but couldn't or wouldn't write themselves (such as my husband, who comes up with the best ideas but has no interest in writing; I get to steal the ideas and make them my own), but I think for most writers, the act of creation is the payout (the itch, as you say), and letting a computer do it for you won't be much of an attraction other than to try it out once or twice.
