What creative technical outlets of yours have been ruined by generative AI?

I'm watching over my alma mater's capture the flag event, and wow, it is dire. This used to be a creative outlet for me and an educational opportunity for students, but now it's almost entirely uncritical use of genAI tools; challenge developers now are "hardening" their challenges against this, but this makes it totally inaccessible to new players, so it's losing its educational value and enjoyability as well. As a developer, why should I put any creative effort in when I know it's just going to be churned by a machine and not enjoyed by anyone? Perhaps I just want to commiserate, but I'm also genuinely curious: what outlets for you have been affected similarly by this new wave?
