so basically genAI in its current sociopolitical context is the thing that combines
- CSAM
- trolling
- grooming
- spam
- phishing
- misinfo
- disinfo
- DDoS attacks
- search inaccuracy
- bloat
- malware
- art theft
- scriptkiddies
- bigotry
- revenge porn
- slut shaming
- mass harassment campaigns
- ads
- echo chambers
- mansplaining
- feedback algorithms
- parasociality
- stranger danger
- compassion fatigue
- privacy breaches
- boring pornography
- enshittification
- centralization
- killing quality of work
- killing people's jobs
- investment bubbles
- art made only for the artist's prestige
- treatlerism
- e-waste
- shallow thinking
- sucking up cpu power
- making everything fungible and samey
- encouraging and enabling deranged cranks in their most toxic belief systems
- setting unrealistic expectations of turnaround time that leaves no time for critical analysis
- constant paranoia about what you're looking at

what's good about the internet

- connecting with real people, whether friends and family or strangers with similar interests from diverse backgrounds all around the world
- getting up-to-date news
- finding information on specialist or obscure topics
- low-cost high-fidelity communications for whatever purpose
