I agree: synthetic data has many well-intentional use cases. It may also remedy privacy issues, among other things. And you can easily enough generate synthetic data without AI, but the issue, I think, is that AI makes the generation easy also for laypeople, and I suppose you can prompt LLMs to generate custom "high-quality" fake data that no data sleuthing can detect.
