While I generally agree with you I'll try to be a Devils Advocate - albeit probably poorly. Responding to your question, I'd say the problem is scale. Once trained, these cognitive automation machines can spray text/images in the style of XYZ. Having artifacts in the output doesn't make that scenario better. A person's very essence of their output is diluted. Naturally such people will be afraid for their worth to society and how they are rewarded. The only ones having this power - to spider the internet, train computers and apply them to large numbers of interactions with people - are large corporations and nation states. That is a significant power to have, and not everyone is sure who should have it and are afraid what could be done with it. There will be much debate. I think the debate won't really influence the outcome much. Edit: spent the time to try to write a shorter comment. Done now. I think.
