That's true, for me the main issue with any automation under capitalism is that it brings yet more power to the corpos and the billionaires and takes away power from the labor.

In this particular case it also sucks because the end product of genAI is soulless slop, and video genAI is quite a power hog. I agree that it's ok for assisting developers/writers/artists/video editors in boring repetitive tasks.
