I disagree on all counts.
It's not exploitative, it doesn't exploit anyone.
It's not trash, and if it were you wouldn't need to regulate it because people would reject it on the merits.
The space belongs to whoever wants to create art, with whatever tools they want to do it. Gatekeeping and true Scotsman arguments are really grasping.
I don't know what "social value" is created. A nurse or a fireman create social value. You won't see them worrying about AI. If AI could put out fires they would definitely be interested.
