weaponized deepfakes, propaganda as a service, ai spam, proof that you can strip-mine internet for everything of value relatively quickly, proof that you can pollute web with drivel that pleases google and cover anything of value relatively quickly, tool for destruction of some media companies, and that sweet, sweet speculative stock revenue
