I really miss the time before generative images and video were a thing. We opened such a can of worms. Really seems like a "the scientists were so occupied with if they could they didn't stop to think if they should" situation. What is the actual utility of these tools again beyond putting artists out of work?

Every generation has their “I miss the time before ‘thing I don’t like’ became a thing”.

In our case, it’s just generative AI.

Has every generation also seen the rise of massively-multiuser automated personalized propaganda engines?

It cannot compete with millions of people glued to their pocket device for hours every day, in which they can see only what is not challenging - or reinforcing - their world view
