A natural way to answer

I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, it's an incredible tool that can help people who lack technical skill bring their ideas to life. On the other, I worry it could water down the value we place on human craft. I think it depends entirely on how we choose to use it.

Key phrases to use

  • misses the point — fails to understand the most important part of something“Arguing about the price misses the point entirely.”
  • water down — make something weaker, less valuable or less effective“They watered down the original plan.”
  • pour its heart into — put deep emotion and total effort into something“She poured her heart into that novel.”
