I agree, I think generative AI is insanely cool technology (and if a new local one comes out I'll probably play with it for a bit) but I can't see image generation at least ever being a net positive for humanity until we get some sort of welfare state.
Currently the negative effects are mitigated by it being relatively easy to tell ai images apart from real images, and since ai images take almost no effort to make, they have naturally become an instant sign marking low effort content wherever they are used. When people stop being able to tell ai images apart is when it will start to become a problem.
