I think there's one thing it doesn't touch on, though, relating to the "asbestos" comparison: genAI has *ruined* the web. Recipes, images, how-to articles and more are flooded with unreliable, useless genAI. And however things shake out, we will need to solve that situation.

In fact, it's arguably where the asbestos comparison breaks down, because asbestos is, if undisturbed, "safe enough". GenAI on the web is more like microplastics: a low-grade, persistent health hazard that will remain harmful as long as it's allowed to persist.
