Honestly, the internet as a whole kinda killed off nuance long ago.

There are a few instances where AI can be useful like upscaling, and potentially medical imaging and the like too, though with the latter there's risks when AI models hallucinate and get things wrong, so you still very much need human intervention when patients' lives could be on the line.

The thing is that it's way more than just a few. Progress seemed like it might've been slowing some for a stretch last year but in the the past few months it's picked up a lot to where recently it's gotten good enough at coding that the field of coding is in the process of being revolutionized with tons of professional coders adopting it lately. In general people are increasingly using LLMs to help them do important stuff like research things, look over legal contracts and so on. It's also getting capable at cybersecurity, for example just earlier this year Mozilla partnered with Anthropic which resulted in Februry having twice as many Firefox bugs found compared to a usual month. 

The legal stuff and others works done by AI are plagued with errors though because LLMs hallucinate and can't differentiate true from false data.

Given the flipside is deepfake revenge/child porn, rampant misinformation, a pretense for suits to lay off workers, slop infesting every corner of the internet, scams, environmental destruction, prices for RAM and stuff going through the roof, a bubble that threatens to crash the economy and more, I'd say the bad still far outweighs any good.
