For anyone who has read the excellent Neil Stephenson book "Rise, or Dodge in Hell" (seriously, go read it!) you know he predicts an outcome of this: real time AI memes and art that generates per-user feeds that are maximally designed to be entertaining and addicting. Feeds that watching for a few hours can cause addictive behavior as the algorithm learns what content you like best.
In his novel, since the algorithm draws from the human, and the human is changed by the algorithm, it causes weird "dreams" where groups of people suddenly all get really violent for a while, then regress into stupor. Having sat on the midjourney discord and gotten almost hypnotized by watching the feed, I can definitely attest it already is very pleasurable, and that's watching _other_ people's streams that they have to type in prompts to generate. I can't imagine what it will be like when mixed with GPL-4 to generate political memes.
