theres an old saying: you want it fast or you want it good?
Why do you assume that these two things will remain opposite?

AI progresses at a fast pace. Even if LLMs exhaust their potential for improvement (and they still have a lot of room for improvement), what makes you think that other, better AI architectures won't emerge?

Some months ago on Reddit I saw a Daily Mail article from the year 2000 that was saying that this whole internet thing is just a fad and it will soon fizzle out and die. And it shows clearly how often people cannot see beyond the current limitations.

except you didn't create anything at all...
It's even less interesting than searching for and finding an interesting conlang from another conlanger:
being interested in a conlang when you know it's produced by an AI is like making love to a blow-up doll...

Only non-conlangers can find it interesting,
to give the illusion of a language when you're not capable as an author of making it seem real (in other words, when you're a poor author) and you're not interested enough to devote time to it,
to not pay a conlanger to save on production costs, why hire an artist to do the kitchen wallpaper...

In conlanging, it's the creation that matters, not the result, so there can be no conlanging properly speaking by AI...
