You are overlooking an important use case: SPAM.

Spam of all kinds and at automated-industry scale. Imagine blog-spam written in a variety of styles so you can no longer easily identify it as such. Imagine chum-boxes that no longer repeat themselves and are harder to identify as such. Imagine ads masquerading as content, as it already exists, but at scale.

And every time you slip up and click on one, it will learn a little more about you and create chum content better tailored to you.

Generative AI will facilitate a flood of algorithmic spam.

This kind of spam already exists, it just isn't scaled because it still takes time and resources to create and the people creating it are not the brightest, so for now it is easy to identify.
