To me the most clear-cut benefit of AI is automated content moderation. People literally get PTSD from moderating Facebook. It's no different from replacing the most hazardous factory work with robotic automation. You will still need a human in the loop for the more difficult cases, of course, but by any reasonable utilitarian calculation AI content moderation is a win.

Exact opposite. Humans don't have time to work out any of those things in practice. Machines do have time, and LLMs make a much better job of those things given the real limitation on human labour that actually exist in practice.
