Less "revolutionised" and more "enshittified".

Endless mindless slop flooding the internet while power bills and electronics prices skyrocket, immense resources are wasted, and almost every aspect of society gets worse. 

AI is a plague.

How exactly is stuff like this emulator enshittified? Professional coders have gotten a huge productivity boost that'll only get even bigger next year while amateurs and even people who don't know how to code at all can now create software. Having a problem with the technology as a whole is fair enough but that is such an obviously good use case of it that this sort of reaction is unreasonable. 

I'm not saying it's all bad, but the the main issues I see are that (1) even the useful applications of AI fund and normalise its harmful applications, (2) it's an IP theft nightmare that will hurt game creators through their works being stolen and cos, let's be real, a lot of people are going to use this for piracy, and (3) it's just going to open the floodgates for a tsunami of low effort slop.
