I can see some minor benefits - I use it for the odd bit of mundane writing and some of the image creation stuff is interesting,, and I knew that a lot of people use it for coding etc - but mostly it seems to be about making more cash for corporations and stuffing the internet with bots and fake content. Am I missing something here? Are there any genuine benefits?

This already happened with the industrial revolution. It did make the rich awfully rich, but let's be honest. People are way better off today too.

It's not perfect, but it does help in the long run. Also, there's a big difference in which country you're in.

Capitalist-socialism will be way better off than hard core capitalism, because the mind set and systems are already in place to let it benefit the people more.

Yes, that way the government will be able to make sure it benefits the right people. And we will call it the national socialism.... wait... no!
