My issue with generative AI is not that it doesn’t have uses, but that it seems to me that the vast majority of those uses are nefarious.
As far as I can tell, it has the most potential for:
Creating sock puppet accounts on social media to sway public opinion
Make fake media/ identity theft
Plagarize various art mediums and meld them together enough to make attribution difficult
Other positive use cases like summarization or reformatting seem to pale in comparison to the potential negative effects of the bad use cases. There are many marginal use cases like coding or law where you may save some time but the review required is likely not that much different than the time it would take for a good programmer or lawyer to just write it.
