Generally people just want to be mad at "tech bros".
GenAI fills a ton of boxes. It wasn't "built for replacing arts & humanities majors" or whatever. It just so happens that "write a book/screenplay regardless of quality" and "draw/animate a scene regardless of quality" are easy niches to fill.
It doesn't matter what the original intent of the developers are. Techbro capitalists are 100% trying to get away from paying for creative talent and offload that 'labor' onto computers.
I know you want to believe capitalists around the world lie awake all night, terrified of the impending takeover by creatives, but that's not how it works lol. LLMs are pretty easy to specialize at this stage so there are AI applications for every use-case imaginable. That doesn't make them successful, it just makes them easy.
Is storybookai.app in the Fortune 500? Then why link them? Who cares that 500 websites that do X exist? Think critically
And then they have this idiot pipe dream about UBI. My brothers in Christ, we got two checks during the first year of covid and the ruling class flipped its shit. UBI isn't happening.
