I get what you mean but without sufficient sources of renewable energy - which do not exist right now and cannot be expanded without exploitation of miners (including children) in the Congo and elsewhere - there’s no way this technology can benefit us in a net sense. Summaries of messages we read anyway and uncanny simulations of celebrities eating pasta will never offset the damage inherently caused to the natural world by the energy consumed by the slop machine.
Like there are no ethical billionaires, there’s no ethical generative AI (except for early-development-stage medical / science stuff like protein combinations or cancer diagnoses, though I think the cancer-detecting AI is way older than current gen AI)
