But its best use right now is manipulating public opinion and creating convincing but non-legit material. As a propaganda tool it is a dream come true

And that is why it is here to stay. Lots of these AI startups may crash and burn when/if the bubble bursts, especially "this is a cool toy" companies. But companies making disinformation and surveillance their main AI focus will become huge.

    It just seems extremely stressful to me. They create a fictional world through word magic in an attempt to escape reality, and the real world will constantly interfere because it is actually real unlike their fictional one. This again requires them to come up with even more word magic in a vain attempt to counter it, and so on until the real world interferes so concretely with them that they end up in jail.
