this frightens me because not only does AI have biases from the training data, the business model of enshittification means they will want to make us dependent and then bias it. Look at e.g. the history of search.

People preferred to get political information from an AI over both in-group and out-group sources!

This reveals that even when we like our own side, we may recognize their potential for bias in political contexts and turn to AI as a neutral alternative.

Even if AI can do it well, which I am not convinced of, I don't believe this has more than novelty value. Every example people come up with is a mash-up of existing things. People will get bored of that, they'll want to watch something new that they can talk to their friends about.
