Genuine question: why do we need this type of thing?

Especially in view of the harm it can cause, what's the point of creating this aside from generating shareholder value?

Sure, creating a video out of text quickly is cool, but is there an actual need for this?

Art. Presentations. Visualizations. Porn.

Weird music videos. Just this week Youtube had pushed me music videos all done in the weird warpy AI style.

It's kind of cool and simultaneously already feels like a fad that tired with.

Who said anything about need?

It was created because someone thought of it. How it's used is a measure of the person using it.

People will find ways to utilize whatever someone creates. And usually in ways the creator never envisioned.

"Needing" something comes after a tool becomes ubiquitous. Imagine trying to screw in a Phillips screw with a slot screw driver - you'd need a Phillips driver because those screws are now ubiquitous (and I can't wait for them to go away. All hail our stripped screw saviour Torx!)
