Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
*Not with a bang but a whimper *

    While I appreciate your perspective on the media and the concerns raised, it's important to approach these issues with a balanced view. Here are a few points to consider:

    1. Disinformation: While disinformation and propaganda have been used by various entities throughout history, it doesn't diminish the significance of addressing its impact in the digital age. The speed and reach of disinformation through AI technology can exacerbate its harmful effects, necessitating measures to mitigate its spread.

    2. Malicious use by corporations: The concern about corporations leveraging AI for deceptive advertising practices is valid. However, it's crucial to acknowledge that regulatory measures and ethical frameworks are being developed to curb such misuse and protect users' interests. Holding corporations accountable for their actions is an ongoing process.

    3. The labor crisis: The automation of certain tasks by robots can indeed free workers from repetitive and mundane jobs, but it also poses challenges such as job displacement and the need for retraining. The focus should be on ensuring a smooth transition for workers, redefining labor dynamics, and creating opportunities for meaningful work in a changing landscape.

    By recognizing both the potential benefits and drawbacks of AI, we can strive for a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of its impact on society.

          Yeah it has a terminal case of "Middle School Essay syndrome" where it's formulaic and lacking in wit or elegance.
