I think this technology is a net gain for the elderly. It's so easy to be creative and have great results.

  I mean sure, if you ignore all the negative externalities then it is a net gain for everyone.

    That doesn't address my comment on the elderly.

      Makes online scams more realistic, which are predominantly targeted at the elderly. Makes journalism even more useless, ruining democracy for the rest of us. Decimating all other artistic livelihoods, putting more strain on society. Sure all these things have already been happening. But again, I am dumbfounded that a lot of people are actually saying “yes, let’s make all of that worse exponentially. Being able to do “fun thing” at the speed of thought is worthy tradeoff”. Everyday at $work me and my colleagues put a lot of effort into deciding what tool/framework/architecture to use, listing all tradeoffs and deciding the most appropriate one. I’m sure a lot of people on this forum do this every day too. I don’t understand why those same people don’t put the same effort to make the same thoughtful decisions on the thing that _actually_ _actually_ matters.
